He is the only one who can keep my wrists from bleeding
He is the only one who can keep me safe
He is the only one who can take the pain away
He is the only one who can keep me alive

If my wrists do bleed, only he can stop them
If I am in danger, only he can pull me to safety
If I am in pain, only he can take it from me
If I die, only he can keep my spirit alive
