the guard is up
The guard is up
No one can get in
No one can see what I feel
I don't want to see your face with pity clear upon it.
I built this guard many years ago
When you shattered my heart
And didn't look back
Now all you do Is rap
About how your life is trash
And if you didn't shatter my heart you would still have me in it
One day you will see
How you messed up your life
Messed up mine
Forced me to build this guard
So I would never be hurt again
Where did my brother go
He surrendered to peer pressure
Gave into the drug
Ruined our life's in one blow
Ran out on his family
Didn't even look back
At his sister
Who was only ten at the time
She was just a little girl
Who got hurt by her brother
Used to cry herself to sleep at night
Because she missed her super hero
That boy who was six years old
when I came into his life
He wore the shirt that said
"I'm the big brother"
He was so proud
So happy that I was here
Now...
He could care less
I built this guard because of you
I opened my heart to you
And you shattered it
I need my super hero
I was ten years old when he went missing
He is still around he somewhere
He just lost his way
And his enemy appeared
He broke my heart
Made me push everyone away
Kept my feeling bottled up
Tore my family apart
Made kids look down upon me
compared me to your enemy
The boy who lost his way in 8th grade
Gave into peer pressure
Does drugs
Sells
Drinks
Only cares about his friends
Doesn't care about his sister
who misses her super hero
The boy that looked over her
Played with her
Hugged her when no one else would
Made sure she never cried
Told her to be her best
Because that's the best anyone can do
Or else
Your lives
Yours dreams
End in just that one blow
