Help me break the lock off the front gate
As far as I can see, there's no more reason to wait
Help me take down the fences that we built
There ain't no point in crying out over this hill of beans we spilt

And I can't keep my guard up for you no more
And loving me shouldn't have to be a chore
And I know it could never be like it was before
So I won't keep my guard up for you no more

Help me get this wounded look off of my face
It doesn't remind me of myself and all the efforts gone to waste
And I'm sorry for the tracks I left behind
But to simply let it slide, you really are too kind

Still I can't keep my guard up for you no more
And I'm afraid that you're behind every door
And if my pain to end is all I'm working for
Why keep my guard up anymore?
Anymore...

When I ask you, "Are you in or not?"
You say, "I'm here, let me clear my thoughts."
When I offer you another round
You go and pour my whiskey out
Now I ain't gonna get all sore
But I know I told ya many times before
That my heart, it ain't as strong as yours
I can't keep my guard up for you no more

No I can't keep my guard up for you no more
There's a rain cloud over your head I can't ignore
And I just don't bag it out before it starts to pour
Cuz I can't keep my guard up for you no more
I can't keep my guard up...
