Defend You - Silverstein

I’m lying down

and you can’t see why

I’ve gone to sleep

Try to relate

can’t give in to your temptations (temptations)

All your hopes and dreams,

washing away silently

forget everything you taught me (you taught me)

when I looked up to you

Fall to your knees

and give up your aspirations (aspirations)

falling to your knees

So how can you expect

me to just close my eyes

and forget your mistakes?

defending you is getting

harder everyday, day

I’m breaking down

the ending’s near,

the final call to make it through (make it through)

you’ll choose

try to relate, forget everything

you taught me (you taught me)

when I looked up to you

I’ll look inside myself for strength

like a million times before

You’ll never let it in because

I know you said

I know you said

I know, I know, I know, I know

Fall, how can you let it go?

(let it go)

how can you be this way?

I’ll never forget (never forget)

where I come from, where I’ve been

I’ll never become you

You’ve lost it all
