Big Verb -

She tries to find the weak spot

To her I’m not a

Criminal she appeals

And wants the sentence reduced

Now I need to restrain

Don’t want to give in

Let me pay for the

Crimes I’ve committed

Everything is caving in

From the weight of her world

My self-effacing

Fortress is too weak

To withstand the self-assured

Just get out while you can

He’ll take it away

Once it’s gone you’ll understand

(Will you please)

Save her from myself

Don’t want to hurt anybody else

So I build my castle high

Warning you to stay away

The war I think it’s over

But nobody really won

As I stumble though the rubble

Then I see what kept

Her from getting in

A wary heart

And the thickest of skin
