Defending Our Lives
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You act like you wonder,
If I know if I know right from wrong,
Believe me, I understand.
We all want the same things,
From this crowded room.
But I am who I am.
And I am haunted by the things that you're saying to me,
As we smile into the faces of our enemies.
And I'll try to defend our lives,
So you'll understand.
That I won't let you down.
I get so defensive,
Because I try so hard,
Believe me I understand.
I only ever got this far,
Because I am who I am.
And I am haunted by the things that you're saying to me,
As we smile into the faces of our enemies.
And I'll try to defend our lives,
I will try to defend our lives,
So you'll understand.
That I won't let you down.
(Hey)
I am haunted by the things that you're saying to me,
As we smile into the faces of our enemies.
And I'll try to defend our lives,
I will try to defend our lives,
I will try to defend our lives,
So you'll understand.
That I won't let you down.
