[Verse:] I'm supposed to be tough! Stop and stare! Into my soul,My armored plating lets you know The hell that I've been through,it always shows I have been! Trying to change this,letting go of my armaments "Stop!" She says "You don't really need them you're safe with me" [Chorus:] Don't take my shield away! Protect me from,Today. Don't take my sword away! Blood stains of frost,Blue-gray. [Verse:] Their hammers of sorrow have tempered me to be this way Still cant believe I played their games,So hopeful If you and I dont feel the same,I'm the only mother f**er to blame. "Stop,You dont really need that and soon you may see that,You will be okay" NO! How do you know?! I slowly glance beyond my shield to see you. [Chorus:] Don't take my shield away! Protect me from,Today. Don't take my sword away! Blood stains of frost,Blue-gray. [Bridge:] I'm supposed to be tough! yea! "Lower your shield for me" "Lower your sword for me" She says I dont really need them "stop and hand over them one by one one by one" [Chorus:] Don't take my shield away! Protect me from,Today. Don't take my sword away! Blood stains of frost,Blue-gray.
