You looked up at me with your big hazel eyes
They where full of fear and you were about to cry
Your voice wavered as you admitted your fear
You told me monsters and bad guys where near
I got on my knees and looked in your eyes and now I'm about to cry
Therese no such thing as monsters but what to say about the bad guy
I can't tell you bad guys aren't real
Because what about murderers, drug dealers and the people who steal
Those kind of bad guys are real
