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 through the rubble Then I see what kept her from getting in A wary heart And the thickest of skin
