"The Guardian" lyrics

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

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
On 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 defense 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, oh

I'm the guardian
I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused

I won't let love
Risk a poison kiss just to have
My thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
