The Guardian

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

But what kind of fool

Would hope for a change?

Then write a new word

On a page that is stained

And ruined by a lie

You shouldn't have told me

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm the guardian

I am the sole protector

On a heart that's been abused

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause, I'm the guardian

I am the last defense for

My weakened heart

That still wants you

[Chorus]

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, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm the guardian

I am the sole protector

Of a heart that's been abused

[Chorus]

I won't let love

Risk a poison kiss just to have

My thirst unquenched again

Let love do me in
