Shields and Swords

I see the look in your eye
I can read between the lines
How did we find ourselves here
When will I wake from this bad dream

And I know they say that love fades
But I don't want us to tumble down
And we have to find a new way
Cause I don't want love to crumble now

And oh, they way that I feel inside
My hearts telling me we're almost of of time
And oh, did we abandon our shields and swords
Don't protect each other like we did before

But nothings gonna stop me from trying anymore
No, nothings gonna keep me from fighting anymore
This love is worth defending, don't you agree?
And I want you to know I take it personally
The commitment that I made to you

Ahh ohhhh

I didn't choose my words wise
My smoke and anger ran lies
And now its been a few days
And I am dealing with my pride

And I don't wanna be
The first to say I'm sorry
Cause that means I'm weak
But that is just my sin
Once again, showing up in me

And oh, the way that I feel inside
My heart's telling me we're almost out of time
And oh, did we abandon our shields and swords
Don't protect each other like we did before

But nothings gonna stop me from trying anymore
(no no, no no, no no, no no)
No, nothings gonna keep me from fighting anymore
(keep on fighting oooo)
This love is worth defending, don't you agree?
And I want you to know I take it personally
The commitment that I made to you

Oh these days of love, friendship, families are treated so cavalier
These days at the first sign of trouble, somebody's outta here
What happened to all suffering, patience, and kindness, real love, real love
