GUARDED Lyrics

It’s hard to watch you stand in your own way

Running from a feeling you can’t face

Never stay too long in the same place

Baby I will wait

So tell me to go

I won’t, I won’t

Be better off alone

I know, I know

You keep me at a distance

Love from afar

Scared of what you might find

Afraid of the dark

Buried and imprisoned

Behind iron bars

I can’t reach your heart

It’s under guard

It’s under-

Habits, that she can’t, that she can’t let go

Trying to hold on to the devil she knows

I’m fighting day and night for a dying rose

Dying slow

There’s poison in her garden

Keeping her heart guarded

Death by even just a taste

Her love never leaves a trace

Angel oh she’s fallen

Keeping her heart guarded

You’ll never make it out alive

But she’ll let you stay the night

Shadows closing in, closing in on her

Echos of the pain only getting worse

But I’ll hold onto her even when it burns

Her love’s a curse

There’s poison in her garden

Keeping her heart guarded

Death by even just a taste

Her love never leaves a trace

Angel oh she’s fallen

Keeping her heart guarded

You’ll never make it out alive

But she’ll let you stay the night

These castle walls are crumbling

There’s cracks all through the stone

Armour slowly falling

Til there’s nowhere else to go

Hold onto me baby

And you’ll never be alone

Alone, again

There’s poison in her garden

Keeping her heart guarded

Death by even just a taste

Her love never leaves a trace

Angel oh she’s fallen

Keeping her heart guarded

You’ll never make it out alive

But she’ll let you stay the night
