The Guardian lyrics

I push through the crowd without looking back.

To leave you behind took all I that 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 is stained,

and ruined by a lie you shouldn't have told me.

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.

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... oh.

Risk a poison kiss

just to have my thirst unquenched again.

Let love do me in.
