I Won'T Let My Guard Down This Time

I shut down I'm broken down But, I will rise You'll soon realize With your starlit eyes That I am not afraid anymore I won't let my guard Like I did before I know life can get hard My wings will soar We are shimmering bright like pretty stars Will someone come here and heal my scars? Neon lights burn in our eyes all over again Frozen in place and I'm frustrated and then… You tell me to be brave and embrace the light When my hopes are in the grave tonight…tonight… I spiral mad like a spinning top on the table of horrid lies I am sad because I let my guard down when we said our goodbyes When we said our goodbyes…when we said our goodbyes… I let my guard down and I am so ashamed and bemused I let my guard down and I am shattered and I was abused Heal my hurt right now Uplift my guard somehow I am consumed By shadows of assumption But, I was bruised By the woods of corruption You’re my remedy and sweet gravity You give me strength to fight off vanity I won't let my guard Like I did before I know life can get hard My wings will soar We are shimmering bright like pretty stars Will someone come here and heal my scars? Neon lights burn in our eyes all over again Frozen in place and I'm frustrated and then… You tell me to be brave and embrace the light When my hopes are in the grave tonight…tonight… I spiral mad like a spinning top on the table of horrid lies I am sad because I let my guard down when we said our goodbyes When we said our goodbyes…when we said our goodbyes… I let my guard down and I am so ashamed and bemused I let my guard down and I am shattered and I was abused Heal my hurt right now Uplift my guard somehow Steal my pain away Make my clouds less gray Make me happy once more Don't let me let my guard down this time Don't let me give up on myself this time I lit up the night and I begin to soar
