You call me up about 2 in the morning You say "i know it's late but can i see you?" Somethings been on your mind You're saying that i hide behind A wall I'm frontin And you just want to get through But what happens when the honeymoon ends Then you take back all the promises spoken, spoken But i want to love you i got a wall to breakthrough And then you leave I'm in too deep to surface again I wanna let you in but I'm so guarded Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted It's up to me to get this lovin' started I'm guarded so guarded You say to trust and that i must believe you How will i know that you will always be true Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted I'm guarded so guarded It's like a game of cards i use to gamble I played all or nothing and i kept losing You said you don't play catch me and then walk away No more crying and lying and misusing But what happens when the honeymoon ends And then you leave I'm in too deep to surface again But what happens when the honeymoon ends I wanna let you in but I'm so guarded Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted It's up to me to get this lovin' started I'm guarded so guarded How will i know that you will always be true Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted I'm guarded so guarded Between the sheets at night I feel so secure Trusting you'll never leave How can i be sure? I'm so guarded I'm so guarded I'm so guarded I'm guarded, so guarded You say to trust and that i must believe you How will i know that you will always be true Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted I'm guarded so guarded i wanna let you in but I'm so guarded Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted It's up to me to get this loving started I'm guarded so guarded You say to trust and that i must believe you How will i know you will always be true Cause in the past I've been so brokenhearted I'm guarded, so guarded
