Let Me Guard My Own Heart

Don’t worry

Don’t spare a thought for me

I don’t need it

I don’t want you to tread carefully

I know how to look out for myself

Let me guard my own heart

I don’t bruise so easily

I don’t mind them occasionally

Let me guard my own heart

I don’t bruise so easily

And I’m tougher than what you see

Let me guard my own heart

I will guard my own heart

And don’t think

That you’re taking advantage

You’re hardly

Anywhere near what I can handle

Just show me some consideration

when dealing with me

Let me guard my own heart

I don’t bruise so easily

I don’t mind them occasionally

Let me guard my own heart

I don’t bruise so easily

And I’m tougher than what you see

Let me guard my own heart

I will guard my own heart

And it feels like hubris when you talk as if I’m so fragile that you could accidentally end up hurting me emotionally

What makes you think that you have any power over me

I’m a big girl and I can judge those who have the capacity by myself

And I haven’t been wrong in oh so long

I will guard my own heart

I don’t bruise so easily

I don’t mind them occasionally

I will guard my own heart

I don’t bruise so easily

And I’m tougher than what you see

I will guard my own heart

Let me guard my own
