The Guardian

I push through the crowd
Without looking back
To leave you behind
Took all i had
And maybe i'm wrong
I might be sorry

But what kind of fool
Would hope for a change
Then write a new word
On a page that stained
And ruined by lie
You shouldn't have told me

I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
On a heart that's been abused

I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in

I swallow the urge
To call out your name
The need crashes in
I brace for the wave
And pray it will pass
Not take me under

'cause, I'm the guardian
I am the last defence for
My weakened heart
That still wants you

I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in

I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused

I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light
Of a fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
