I saw you standing there in the corner of the room,
I knew I would never have the courage to talk to you,
But I want to keep you safe from all of those creeps,
So I'll escort you to your place just to watch you fall asleep.
I'll follow you home, and wherever you may go,
I'll follow you home, so you'll never have to be all alone.
It amazes me how much you learn when watching from afar,
I know all of your favorite things and how you love gazing at the stars,
And all I want is for you to just notice me,
And then we would fall in love and live our lives oh so happily.
So there I was, standing in the rain,
I watched you take his hand, as I just took the pain,
And I know, oh lord, he's not the one for you,
I meant when I said I'd do anything, even kill a man for you.
And that's a promise I intend to keep,
I'll get him out of the picture until it's just you and me.
