Guard Down

Had me up inside a temple
I could not choose
Insecure, got hot to handle
Too much too soon

Time after time
Had to stop cold
Night after night
She takes control
But then

I give it up to the devil in me, and I
I let my guard down (I let my guard down)
I've given up on her vision of me when
I let my guard down (I let my guard down, hey!)

She'll take me back if I make her believe that I
Can finally come down (can finally come down)
Get through the steps I don't wanna repeat 'cause
I let my guard down

She don't want part of the cliché
I turned into
Don't want her to see me that way
And face the truth

Time after time
Had to stop cold
Night after night
She takes control
But then

I give it up to the devil in me, and I
I let my guard down (I let my guard down)
I've given up on her vision of me when
I let my guard down (I let my guard down, hey!)

She'll take me back if I make her believe that I
Can finally come down (can finally come down)
Get through the steps I don't wanna repeat 'cause
I let my guard down

Let's go
She takes control (she takes control)

I give it up to the devil in me, and I
I let my guard down (I let my guard down, hey!)
I'm giving up on a vision of me when
I let my guard down
