The idea for this song started after receiving a phone call. It was 3 a.m. and my mother called me asking me for advice. She said, “Your little sister’s in her room. Someone from her high school is bullying her and told her that she is so ugly she should kill herself.” I didn’t quite know what t...
[Verse 1]
You sneak in through my bedroom window. You say you don’t think you were followed
You look like hell but I don’t say a word and I dry your tears with my favorite t shirt
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know how much I love you?
[Chorus]
If they’re gonna try to make you bleed, they’re gonna have to come through me
I’ll stand my ground, I’ll be around, I'll be around
So let them come and try to cut you down, teeth will roll and hit the ground

They’re gonna leave with a black eye
[Verse 2]
You stay in, and lock the dead bolt
This will be over by the morning
I’m driving 90 cross the bridge
Yeah I know where this fucker lives
Do you know how much I love you?
[Chorus]
If they’re gonna try to make you bleed, they’re gonna have to come through me
I’ll stand my ground, I’ll be around, I'll be around
So let them come and try to cut you down, teeth will roll and hit the ground
I’ll be around, I’ll be around I’ll be around
[Verse 3]
Cause two can play at this game
They won’t touch you again
Throwing rocks at our bones, well I’ve got rocks of my own
When they come looking for you
Then I’ll be ready to fight
I’ll cross the wires, I’ll break the lines
They’re gonna leave with a black eye
[Bridge]
I park my car on his front lawn
The lights are off, the TV’s on
You know I never asked for this
He put his own name on my list
Fists are pounding on the door
I warned him about this before
I think I’ll have a glass of wine
My .45 says you won’t mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know how much I love you?
[Outro]
They’re throwing rocks at our bones
Well we’ve got rocks of our own
They’re throwing rocks at our bones
Well we’ve got rocks of our own
Do you know how much I love you?
