[Verse 1]
For a while
I let myself imagine
That fear of love
Had me
But deep ties
20-odd years of habit
Can break down
From me
These days
I'm finding time to reappear
Or fall away
From it
If I could
Pen my old self a letter
I'd give him life for better
[Chorus]
I'm unguarded
I saw you in surrender
Found somebody
Who had shown me forgiveness
[Post-Chorus]
I let it break away
I break away
I let it break away
I break away
[Bridge]
There's no easy way to live without love
There's no easy way to live without you
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
And so helpless
I can't believe it's coming to
There's no easy way to live without dreams
There's no easy way for dreams to come true
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
But I gather myself, I'm coming for you
[Chorus]
I'm unguarded
I saw you in surrender
Found somebody
Who had shown me forgiveness
Unguarded was written by Chris Hyson & Jim Macrae & Imraan Paleker & Jordan Rakei.
Unguarded was produced by Jordan Rakei.
Jordan Rakei released Unguarded on Tue Aug 31 2021.
I wanted to have a track that breathed, production-wise. The focus wasn’t lyrics or the instrumentation, it was the energy and mood, and the way it all moves. It was more about the emotion rather than the message or the instrumental choices, about the movement and arc of the music.
