[Verse]
Empty parking lot midnight lights flicker and twitch
I kick at a stone like I am kicking at fate tonight
Phone in my hand but your name is a landmine
Whole sky looking down like it is reading my mind
I whisper your secrets to the fog then pretend I do not care
[Prechorus]
You say I am too much then you pull me back in
You love me you hate me which mask do you wear
[Chorus]
I guard you with my life with my life with my life
Even when you stab that same life in the back
I guard you with my life say it twice say it thrice
Heart like a stray dog running circles on a one way track
You break me every night but I still guard you with my life
[Verse 2]
You sleep like a saint drool on your pillow throne
I watch like a ghost on the ceiling counting every quiet sin
Your breathing is thunder my thoughts are thin glass
If I shatter do I cut you or just vanish in the spin
I keep my rage in a jar on the dresser next to your grin
[Prechorus]
You say I am your storm then you beg for the rain
You call me your problem then tattoo my name
[Chorus]
I guard you with my life with my life with my life
Even when you twist that same life till it cracks
I guard you with my life like a dull little knife
Dancing in the dark on the edge of your panic attacks
You fake it every night but I still guard you with my life
