#1 Defender

The greatest gift you ever gave me was a faded, red broken ballerina.

And you would wind it up, and it would barely move,

and there would be no sound

And you'd look up and say

I'm your number one

I'm your number one defender.

I will understand

when you are gone.

I don't need a raise, I don't need a paycheck

I will understand

I'm your number one.

I've always had this thing with bravery, I never wanted no one to believe me

Or even see me, or understand.

I thought that maybe there would be this girl

And she'd be just like me, but not like me

And you look up and say

I'm your number one,

I'm your number one defender.

I will understand

when you are gone.

I don't need a raise, I don't need a paycheck

I will understand

I'm your number one.

I never thought that love would save me

I've never been so happy to be wrong

So thanks for the silence

Thanks for the days

Thank you for the ocean.

I'm your number one,

I'm your number one defender,

I will understand

when you are gone

I don't need a raise, I don't need a paycheck

I will understand. I'm your number one.

I never thought that love would save me

I've never been so happy to be wrong...
