She tries to find the weak spot

She tries to push through

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 all 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 you 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
