When you hurt that deep

When the knife's that sharp

When the arrow's aimed right for your heart

When you trust enough to let him in

Then the games begin



When the stakes are just a bit too high

And danger is waiting to take away your innocence

It's not you, it's me

It's just



Chorus:

I'm jaded enough to keep up my defenses

I never thought this could happen to me

I'm a cynical girl,

Seeing life through lenses so I don't get hurt again

Jaded I am



I'm talking to myself how could it be

No one's ever made a fool of me

No one's had the power, held the key to open up that door

Then slam it in a blink, in a fatal twist

Turned inside out I live with this

Day in, day out

I must begin again

But



Chorus 2X



Bridge:

Trusting in no one is no way to go on

I know, I know, I know.

Someone tell my heart that bleeds on and on

How could I ever take a lover into my trembling arms

Oh



Chorus 2X
