Defend You Lyrics

I'm lying down
and you can't see why
I've gone to sleep
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e38539-silverstein~defend_you_lyrics.html ]
Try to relate
can't give in to your temptations (temptations)

All your hopes and dreams,
washing away silently
forget everything you taught me (you taught me)
when I looked up to you

Fall to your knees
and give up your aspirations (aspirations)
falling to your knees

[Chorus:]
So how can you expect
me to just close my eyes
and forget your mistakes?
defending you is getting
harder everyday, day

I'm breaking down
the ending's near,
the final call to make it through (make it through)
you'll choose
try to relate, forget everything
you taught me (you taught me)
when I looked up to you

[Chorus]

I'll look inside myself for strength
like a million times before
You'll never let it in because
I know you said
I know you said
I know, I know, I know, I know

Fall, how can you let it go? (let it go)
how can you be this way?
I'll never forget (never forget)
where I come from, where I've been
I'll never become you

[Chorus x2]

You've lost it all
