Here is my shield

I hate to put it up again

But I can’t face you

I can’t keep playing pretend

 

Meet my mask

Meet the person I am when

I can’t take you

What should I do then

 

Should I call you up

Should I let you down

Should I fight when we disagree

Should I back down

Should I hold you up

Should I let myself break down

You hold tight to your memory of me

Don’t you get it now

 

You and I

Aren’t one

We’re not battling

This storm

Together

You’re not on my side

 

If I die

All alone

In my heart

On my own

You won’t know better

I wish you would realize

There is no you and I

 

You like to talk big

Like you’re the answer to my problems

But I hate you

Fooled me into letting you use me again

 

Why do you ask

Like I can solve all your problems

But I can’t save you

What you I do for you, friend

 

Should I call you up

Should I let you down

Should I fight when we disagree

Should I back down

Should I hold you up

Should I let myself break down

You hold tight to your memory of me

Don’t you get it now

 

You and i

Aren’t meant

To stay close

To the end

Or ever

You’re not on my side

 

If I cry

All my tears

Would dry up

Without you here

You won’t know better

I wish you would realize

There is no you and I

 

Pay your own mind

Get out of my life

Don’t worry about me

I’m better off when you don’t need

 

Won’t you let me go

Get it through your head

There is no

 

You and I

Aren’t one

We’re not battling

This storm

Together

You’re not on my side

 

If I die

All alone

In my heart

On my own

You won’t know better

I wish you would realize

There is no

 

You and I

Aren’t meant

To stay close

To the end

Or ever

You’re not on my side

 

If I cry

All my tears

Would dry up

Without you here

You won’t know better

I wish you would realize

There is no you and I
