What’s At Stake

I think I want a new parameter to show how much is at stake
'Cause you were never much a dreamer
And you don't know how much a big fake can play

I thought I envisioned you as a warrior
A man who's child and protector too
Your might and strength kept them at a distance
But you never knew what others lied ahead of you
I say you were too trusting
And I know they only let you down
And I wish I could have picked up the pieces for you
But I guess we both know that that can never be done

I think I want a new parameter to show you how much is at stake
'Cause you were never much a dreamer
And you don't know how much a big fake can play
