Too Close -

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
