I push through the crowd without looking back
To leave you behind took all that I had
And maybe I'm wrong, I might be sorry

But what kind of fool would hope for a change
Then write a new word on a page that is stained
And ruined by a lie you shouldn't have told me

I'm the guardian, I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused

I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light or the fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have my thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in

I swallow the urge to call out your name
The need crashes in, I brace for the wave
And pray it will pass, not take me under

'Cause I'm the guardian, I am the last defense for
My weakened heart that still wants you

I won't let love do me in again
I can't just run to the light or the fire and jump in
Risk a poison kiss just to have my thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in

I'm the guardian, I am the sole protector
Of a heart that's been abused

I won't let love
Risk a poison kiss just to have my thirst unquenched again
Let love do me in
