"Guard Down" lyrics

"Guard Down"
(from "The Idea Of You" soundtrack)

Had me up inside a temple
I could not choose
Insecure, got hot to handle
Too much too soon

Time after time
Had to stop cold
Night after night
She takes control

But then I give it up to the devil in me
And I, I let my guard down
I let my guard down
I've given up on her vision of me when
I let my guard down
I let my guard down

She'll take me back if I make her believe
That I can finally come down
Can finally come down
Get through the steps I don't wanna repeat
'Cause I let my guard down

She don't want part of the cliché
I turned into
Don't want her to see me that way
And face the truth

Time after time
Had to stop cold
Night after night
She takes control

But then I give it up to the devil in me
And I, I let my guard down
I let my guard down
I've given up on her vision of me when
I let my guard down
I let my guard down

She'll take me back if I make her believe
That I can finally come down
Can finally come down
Get through the steps I don't wanna repeat
'Cause I let my guard down

Let's go

She takes control
She takes control

I give it up to the devil in me
And I, I let my guard down
I let my guard down
I'm giving up on a vision of me
When I let my guard down
