Cover You

I wish I were the covers
Laying across your bed
Warmly I'd welcome you
To always lay with me instead

I'd comfort you
Keep you cozy, tucked in
Heal the black dress
That soaked into your skin

Whisper he's no good for you
That you should leave
But I know a gift of red
Is what you'd receive

Let me shelter you
During every howling storm
And close myself around you tight
In the winter to keep you warm

Those phonecalls and visits
I'll soak up each tear
Pulled up, left down, thrown off
I'll always be here

Watching scary movies
Let me block out the screams
Watching over you
Whilst you slip away to dream

You don't know how I feel
And with him, you'll never know
That the love inside of me
For you will forever grow

Yes, I wish I were the covers
Laying across your bed
So you'd cuddle up to me
And be with me instead
