Winning a battle, losing the war

Even though I'll never need him,
even though he's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed him,
spend a day to make him smile again
Even though I'll never need him,
even though he's only giving me pain
As the world is soft around him,
leaving me with nothing to disdain.

Even though I'm not his minder,
even though he doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find him,
to make sure that he is safe and sound.
Even though I'm not his minder,
even though he doesn't want me around,
I am on my feet to find him,
to make sure that he is safe from harm.

The sun sets on the war,
the day breaks and everything is new...
