Guarded Lyrics

You call me up about 2 in the morning
You say "I know it's late but can I see you?"
Somethings been on your mind
Your saying that I hide behind a wall
I'm frontin
And you just want to get through
But what happens when the!
Then you take back all the promises spoken
But I want to love you I got a wall to breakthrough
And then you leave I'm in too deep to surface again

I wanna let you in but I'm so guarded
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
It's up to me to get this loving started
I'm guarded so guarded
You say to trust and that I must believe you
How will I know that you will always be true
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
I'm guarded so guarded

It's like a game of cards I use to gamble
I played all or nothing and I kept losing
You said you don't play catch me and then walk away
No more crying and lying and misusing
But what happens! ?
And then you leave I'm in too deep to surface again

I wanna let you in but I'm so guarded
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
It's up to me to get this loving started
I'm guarded so guarded
How will I know that you will always be true
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
I'm guarded so guarded

Between the sheets at night
I feel so secure
Trusting you'll never leave
How can I be sure?
I'm so guarded I'm so guarded I'm so guarded
I'm guarded so guarded
You say to trust and that I must believe you
How will I know that you will always be true
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
I'm guarded so guarded


I wanna let you in but I'm so guarded
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
It's up to me to get this loving started
I'm guarded so guarded
You say to trust and that I must believe you
How will I know you will always be true
Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted
I'm guarded so guarded
