Shield Against My Sorrow
No Angels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes my life just runs so fast
I wish myself back to the past
But since you're mine
I feel so much stronger than I felt before
Oh, yeah
No matter where I fall behind
No matter if I lose my mind
Drying all my tears
You're my passion
You're my guiding light
The shield against the darkest night
You're all I know
You're all I need
The shield against my sorrow
You're my passion
You're my guiding light
You're the sun of tomorrow
And you shine so bright
My self-control
My heart and soul
The shield against my sorrow
Life was like a game to me
Not always fair but now I see
There's so much more
Now I'm able to read between the lines
All my faith and confidence
My gift to you
We've got a chance
So what you get is what you see
And I promise I'll be true
