My Armour

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in like rain On my open skin I was all soft edges You knew where to get in You read my silence Like it owed you truth Now I keep my hands up Even when it's you [Pre-Chorus] So I lock it down When you get too close I learned the hard way What a crack can cost I feel you pulling At the seams I hide But I won't come apart Not tonight [Chorus] My armour My armour Keeps me whole for a while My armour My armour Hides the hurt in my smile You can knock You can try I won't break in your arms My armour My armour Keeps me safe from the fall [Verse 2] I wear it in the daylight I wear it in the dark Little silver edges Shining on my heart You say "let me in" Like it's simple as that But I've got old scars And they still hit back [Pre-Chorus] So I lock it down When you get too close I learned the hard way What a crack can cost I feel you pulling At the seams I hide But I won't come apart Not tonight [Chorus] My armour My armour Keeps me whole for a while My armour My armour Hides the hurt in my smile You can knock You can try I won't break in your arms My armour My armour Keeps me safe from the fall [Bridge] Maybe one day I won't need this shield Maybe one day I can let it yield But for now Let me stand my ground I need this weight To hold me down [Final Chorus] My armour My armour Keeps me whole for a while My armour My armour Hides the hurt in my smile You can knock You can try I won't break in your arms My armour My armour Keeps me safe from the fall My armour My armour Yeah, it keeps me safe from the fall
