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
