Struggling with Guarded? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight Why does it sound like the devil is laughing Leaving me haunted tonight You did decide Now I want you when you're done And now it's like you're holding something Just in front of me Well then I can't allow this to become another One of those times when I'm left in the cold, dead There's no compromise Just another tie I know I need to sever Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight Why does it sound like the devil is laughing Leaving me haunted tonight You did decide Ever haunted by the trappings of this life Sweet redemption just in front of me Well now it seems once again that I've lost another One of the one's that have broke through the wall, damned Fate won't compromise I have sold my soul And now the devil's laughing You did decide You were bold and strong And ready to begin your life All for nothing You were sacrificed You begin alone And so it will be when you die All for nothing Will you be remembered You did decide Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight So now you know why the devil is laughing He left you with nothing tonight You did decide
