Put On My Guard

Don't know what I was thinkin' when I met you

Blame it on the music and the way you dance

Let myself get swept away by something

I haven't felt for so long, I couldn't take a chance

Now suddenly look at me, spinning crazy dreams

Unsteady, I'm not ready to be taken to extremes

Put on My Guard, still it's hard to walk away

You pull me into you, make me wanna stay

Put on My Guard, I'm still the me I used to know

Terrified enough to leave before you have to go

There's something you should know

I can see in your eyes the way you're feeling

I should steal away, nobody has to lose

Haunted by the memory of fire

I'd take all you offer me if my heart could choose

But that empty shell serves me well holding back the tide

Though burned out it has turned out to be hard as rock inside

Put on My Guard, still it's hard to walk away

You pull me into you, make me wanna stay

Put on My Guard I'm still the me I used to know

Terrified enough to leave before you have to go

You should know, you should know

Every time before I walked away with no regrets

Wiped the taste from my lips,

Smoothed the shadows from my bed

The way you look at me I could easily forget

An' I bet you haven't heard a single word I said

Oh yeah, Put on My Guard, still it's hard to walk away

You pull me into you, make me wanna stay

Put on My Guard … still the me I used to know

Terrified enough to leave before you have to go

There's something you should know

You should know before I go

There's something you should know

You should know… don't go
