So, you won’t let yourself, get close
You put on this face
And no one ever knows
Who you are, but there’s more
There’s more to you I’ve seen
Yeah,
You can fool them all,
But you’re not fooling me
[Chorus]
And when your best defense goes down
You swear you won’t give in
And you don’t want to work it out
But still you’re standing here
Undecided, if you’re gonna let me in
‘Cause I don’t think, I can take this,
Anymore
I’ve tried, to play your stupid game
Yeah,
But one by one, they all end up the same
For me
I’m crushed, and at the bitter end
Yeah,
When you pick me up, and we do this all again
[Chorus]
And late at night what’s in your head
Is it all the things you could’ve said
If you push me out, are you being strong
When the morning comes, you can’t decide anymore
You can’t decide
And when your best defense goes down
You swear you won’t give in
And you don’t want to work it out
But still you’re standing here
Undecided, if you’re gonna let me in
‘Cause I don’t think, I can take this
Don’t feel like I’m breaking
‘Cause I don’t think, I can take this
Anymore.
