It's hard to watch you stand in your own way Running from a feeling you can't face Never stay too long in the same place Baby I will wait So tell me to go I won't, I won't Be better off alone I know, I know You keep me at a distance Love from afar Scared of what you might find Afraid of the dark Buried and imprisoned Behind iron bars I can't reach your heart It's under guard It's under Habits, that she can't, that she can't let go Trying to hold on to the devil she knows I'm fighting day and night for a dying rose Dying slow There's poison in her garden Keeping her heart guarded Death by even just a taste Her love never leaves a trace Angel oh she's fallen Keeping her heart guarded You'll never make it out alive But she'll let you stay the night Shadows closing in, closing in on her Echoes of the pain only getting worse But I'll hold onto her even when it burns Her love's a curse There's poison in her garden Keeping her heart guarded Death by even just a taste Her love never leaves a trace Angel oh she's fallen Keeping her heart guarded You'll never make it out alive But she'll let you stay the night Her heart is guarded, oh-oh, oh Her heart is guarded, oh (Oh-oh) (Falling) (It's guarded) (Oh, oh-oh) (This falling) These castle walls are crumbling There's cracks all through the stone Armour slowly falling 'Til there's nowhere else to go Hold onto me baby And you'll never be alone Alone, again There's poison in her garden Keeping her heart guarded Death by even just a taste Her love never leaves a trace Angel oh she's fallen Keeping her heart guarded You'll never make it out alive But she'll let you stay the night
