He sees them both everyday now. He watched the story unfold. In the gra** underneath the trees, inside a red SUV, Two silhouettes and no second guessing. Is someone tryna to test me? he thought to himself. Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid And I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me. Just raise your guard and say keep your heart. You cant get burned if you put out the spark. I feel I just cant win, let myself down again. Just raise your guard and say keep your heart. Those five weeks felt like forever. He waited this whole time to see her again. And of course wouldnt you know (This happened two summers ago), She showed up with her cool new boyfriend Its starting to annoy him. He thought to himself Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid And I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me. Just raise your guard and say keep your heart. You cant get burned if you put out the spark. I feel I just cant win, let myself down again. Just raise your guard and say keep your heart. So Id set it straight she never know, If we die today you had me at hello, I swear that I loved you I know I throw that word around But I mean it, I swear I f**ing mean it Raise your guard, raise your guard Say "keep your heart" And I cant win I cant win You need your space again, Its not the right time or place again, You lied right to my face again In your basement, we were wasted. I always try to talk at the worst times, You dated many boys, Im the worst kind. Every word I write it's the worst line So if I hurt her feelings, she hurt mine. (And I cant win I cant win) Raise your guard, raise your guard, say "keep your heart." You cant get burned if you put out the spark [x2]
