Select language to translate this lyric
So youÂre preparing for the weekend
Spray on colour try the high-heeled shoes
Comparing notes with all your girlfriends
Making plans for smokes and booze
Friday nightÂs a giddy feeling
You never know what is in store
Avoid the looks from worried parents
You go waltzing out the door
I canÂt protect you from the world
I canÂt protect you from yourself
I canÂt protect you from the world
If I could I would
If I could I would
It was midnight when I saw you
Alone and propped against a wall
Lipstick mascara run together
CouldnÂt hide the bruises from your fall
Your little wings could bring you anywhere
Your little heart is open as the sky
IÂm haunted by the empty gaze
A naked truth within your eye
I canÂt protect youÂu0085
Dear God take care of all the young ones
Chasing shadows in the night
I hope you guide them all home safely
Home to sleep and to the morning light
I canÂt protect you from the world
I canÂt protect you from yourself
I canÂt protect you from the world
If I could I would
If I could I would
