[Verse 1]

When did you realize what he was after?

What did you say when he took you home?

Your eyes betray heartache even through the laughter

You’re wanting for something, and you’re not alone

[Verse 2]

Does he know your heart lies deep in the ocean?

Has he ever asked you what you wanted to be?

Has he ever asked you how to earn your devotion?

Does he have the courage to let you be free?

[Chorus]

Remember when I told you not to worry?

Could you see that I was petrified?

Why do you have to be in such a hurry

To be disappointed and dissatisfied?

How do I defend you?

How do I defend you?

[Verse 3]

He sees what you show him, and you don’t show easy

You hide inside armor you polish and shine

Your kindness is honest, you give of it freely

You guard your intentions, you keep them in line

[Verse 4]

Does he know the real you? Or are you pretending?

Do you fit the mold of what he wants you to be?

In the beginning, you feared for the ending

Love is a promise, but no guarantee

[Chorus]

Remember when I told you not to worry?

Could you see that I was petrified?

Why do you have to be in such a hurry

To be disappointed and dissatisfied?

How do I defend you?

How do I defend you?
