I kept my guard so high, so high And I let slip the moment you entered my life, my life How I regret that day so much every time I see you look I feel the loss of the shield you took from me I keep hope too close I keep hope too close With you I began to feel the tide And I let it hold me through the times I could not hide All I'd known was wrong, what I'd felt was right Fate's a loaded barrel in the holder's sight I keep hope too close I keep hope too close I, I'm letting it go, I release all I hold I, I'm letting it go, I release all I hold And I, I'm letting it go, I release all I hold And I, I'm letting it go, I release all that I hold Tears there I kept behind the fold
