Stripped

I Wrote This About A Girl Who Said She Didnt Know Me

I Take Down My Shield My Armor So Hard
I Stand Before You Stripped Let Down My Guard
Because I Can't Let You Go Slip Away At Last
You Almost Slipped From My Firm Holding Grasp
And Through It All I Thought You Wanted A Soldier
But As Years Passed And We Got Older
Then It Changed You Wanted A Warrior No More
And You Said Goodbye But It Didnt Hit My Core
It Just Reflected Off The Steel Surrounding My Heart
I Turned You Away Forgetting It From The Start
But I Often Reminisced Over The Things I Left Behind
And How With You There Was I Feeling I Can't Find
I Said I Could Change And Flee From My Fight
I Swore To You That Everything I Would Make Right
So Here I Am Standing With Nothing To Hide
I Stand Stripped With Arms Open Wide
