"Keepsake" lyrics

And I've been down this road before a thousand times
And I realize
Am I wasting my time, am I toeing the line
Between the shadows I keep within, the shadows I keep within?

And I've been, I've been waiting, been waiting for the storms to drown me out
And my screams have been fading, been fading out to the sounds but
But you say you've got me

And I said, I said, hold me dear
And you said, you said, don't you forget about all I've done
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
And I said, I said, hold me dear
And you said, you said, listen to me, we've come this far
And that's when you asked me to lay my guard down
To lay my guard down

And I've been down this road before a thousand times
But I realize
Is it time that I give in to this state of mind
Just to find my highs, justify my lies

Well I've been, I've been waiting, I've been waiting for the storms to drown me out
And my screams have been fading, have been fading out to the sounds but
But you say you've got me

And I said, I said, hold me dear
And you said, you said, don't you forget about all I've done
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
And I said, I said, hold me dear
And you said, you said, listen to me, we've come this far
And that's when you asked me

But Lord knows, well I've tried, but I need you now, I need you now
Lord knows, well I've tried, so hold me down, so hold me down

And I said, I said, hold me dear
And you said, you said, don't you forget about all I've done
I'll wear your heart like a keepsake
And I said, I said, hold me dear
And you said, you said, listen to me, we've come this far
And that's when you asked me to lay my guard down
To lay my guard down
