drop your guard

Jasmine Thompson

Still waters run deep
Why do you always hide from me
How do you keep all your troubles underneath?
Emotion is a wild thing
I'm trying not to feel it
We get on
Yeah, somehow we get by
We're alright 'cause

Love runs deep
Deeper than the darker sea
So drop your guard
Why do you have to be so hard

Those paper dolls
Hold each other by the hand
One cut and they break
I'm trying to make you understand
Emotion is a wild thing
Together we can tame it
Look again, don't you realise?
It's in my eyes

Love runs deep
Deeper than the darker sea
So drop your guard
Why do you have to be so hard

I wasn't asking you to open up, to open up
It's not my business anyway
It's just that when you're hurting
It's like I'm always searching
For the right words to say
We have an un-spoken rule
That you're always so cruel
Maybe I'm wrong to believe but in my dreams

Our love runs deep
Deeper than the darker sea
So drop your guard
Why do you have to be so hard
Our love runs deep
Deeper than the darker sea
So drop your guard
Why do you have to be so hard
