Lyrics GUARDED - Chris Grey

GUARDED

It's hard to watch you stand in your own way
Running from a feeling you can't face
Never stay too long in the same place
Baby I will wait

So tell me to go
I won't, I won't
Be better off alone
I know, I know

You keep me at a distance
Love from afar
Scared of what you might find
Afraid of the dark
Buried and imprisoned
Behind iron bars
I can't reach your heart
It's under guard
It's under

Habits, that she can't, that she can't let go
Trying to hold on to the devil she knows
I'm fighting day and night for a dying rose
Dying slow

There's poison in her garden
Keeping her heart guarded
Death by even just a taste
Her love never leaves a trace
Angel oh she's fallen
Keeping her heart guarded
You'll never make it out alive
But she'll let you stay the night

Shadows closing in, closing in on her
Echoes of the pain only getting worse
But I'll hold onto her even when it burns
Her love's a curse

There's poison in her garden
Keeping her heart guarded
Death by even just a taste
Her love never leaves a trace
Angel oh she's fallen
Keeping her heart guarded
You'll never make it out alive
But she'll let you stay the night

These castle walls are crumbling
There's cracks all through the stone
Armour slowly falling
'Til there's nowhere else to go
Hold onto me baby
And you'll never be alone
Alone, again

There's poison in her garden
Keeping her heart guarded
Death by even just a taste
Her love never leaves a trace
Angel oh she's fallen
Keeping her heart guarded
You'll never make it out alive
But she'll let you stay the night
