heart a shield, mind a sword.

If I could put a dime on how many times we've tried to work things out I'd have a couple or way too many to count for this item up on the shelf My damage is like tuition and now I have debts to pay My credit score would be too obscure for me to even say Traversing some of the darkest caves and it echos with my doubts Climbing up from this ladder you've made masquerade of yourself Stepping down from my pile of mistakes couldn't forgive myself And I hope there's another path to take than what I call my own I need more advantages on learning to protect my heart Cause my defenses are falling in from right out under myself I had the strongest infatuation for too long to want If I knew first love was this hard then I didn't wanna fall at all Plant a tree for how many times I've spent seconds over you Save parts of the Earth stable oxygen for us to feel alright If fear breeds strength how strong would I be for standing on the ground I've brought myself right off my feet too many times to count Traversing some of the darkest caves and it echos with my doubts Climbing up from this ladder you've made masquerade of yourself Stepping down from my pile of mistakes couldn't forgive myself And I hope there's another path to take than what I call my own This gave my heart a shield And my mind a sword The stages of grief That I followed from your loss Were too hard to process Expedite my mind Flashbang my memory To a better time My heart has a shield And my mind a sword Moving too fast for life To catch up Could erase mistakes Fix what I've done My battles continue Let the fight go on I need more advantages on learning to protect my heart Cause my defenses are falling in from right out under myself I had the strongest infatuation for too long to want If I knew first love was this hard then I didn't wanna fall at all I need more advantages on learning to protect my heart Cause my defenses are falling in from right out under myself I had the strongest infatuation for too long to want If I knew first love was this hard then I didn't wanna fall at all
