Loving too much from behind my shield

I was born the kinda man
Who wants to give love to the world
But soon I found, love is weak
It breaks down just with a word

Mamma told me grasp onto hope
Soon it's gonna be alright
But time has passed and even so
Happiness is still out of sight

The bonds I made are choking me
The love I gave wasn't meant to be

Ooh I love you all so much
Yeah, I wish that I could say
Ooh but right now I find
That I gotta hide my love away
