Defences

I take it all away I take it all away From you, I do, I take it all away For you I tried to please, but it is time for a new day I lay it all on the table, so you know that I'm available Let you tell all your fables while I am bussing tables Why can't I adjust what I've been trying? Saying it's taking away breath I have been dying I don't, I don't know why it's holding me And I hate letting you have all our glory I don't wanna be the one you take Say that you would never be that straight up with how you loved on me I don't even know if you loved me I think that it's time for me to go and put my guard up Taking all my time cuz I don't wanna be on the side Maybe it's a normal thing to let people in and sting you heart to heart So obviously I put defences up cuz you say you don't know me Say I'm defenseless love but I know you don't want me I'm tired of the whispered lies you tried to sway my heart Tired love made me wanna start a fire On the fences, picket fences my love, I burn it all down til you fold and let me get what I want Ahh, ahh Defences, defences I guess I thought it would be okay, Almost opened up and then I almost met you halfway I know that I should protect what I built and how I rep that But something bout you took that, changed what is in my head I'm happy that we once collided I ran, but this time I was on time with the instincts That I had, they helped me slide And while I held your stare I put my defences up cuz you know you don't love me Say I'm defenseless love but I know you don't want me I'm tired of the whispered lies you told to sway my heart Tired love made me wanna start a fire On the fences, picket fences my love, I burn it all down til you fold and let me get what I want Ahh, ahh Defences, defences Aye Ahh, ahh Defences, defences Ahh, ahh
