Paroles de Guarded

I've never been the kind to hold back
though I'd never felt the burn before
and all these years I begged for vengeance
and was only left with wanting more
but I can't be whole until I let all this anger go,
a silent strain I've carried long enough

I can't be with you, I don't even want to
I just wish your ghosts were gone
cause I'm ready to love
I've been guarded long enough

It's taken a lot to forgive you
oh it's taken me so long
I tried in vain to forget you
oh I tried everything
but I won't be free until I've made peace with never knowing
what went wrong and was the fault in me

I can't be with you, I don't even want to
I just wish your ghosts were gone
cause I'm ready to love
I've been guarded long enough

I've been guarded long enough
I've been guarded long enough I'm ready now
