He's taken your armour
He's taken your shield
Baby, can't you see?
He's taking all the things that are threatening him
You protect yourself
He thinks you'll fight
He can't understand that
You will only stand up for yourself, and that's all
"Don't question"; he's saying, "listen to me"
He can't feel safe till you let down your guard
You love a man with a broken soul
Giving him love that you don't owe
No matter what he says, what he claims
It's not his right to possess your mind
Listen to your body cry
"Are you free this Friday?"
"Let's meet at 8"
"I'll pick you up"
He's making you feel like you're worth something to him
"I'm not feeling well"
"What about next week?"
Baby, please wake up
The hurt in him is forcing him to break his promise
"I don't know," he's screaming, "don't accuse me"
He can't feel safe till you stand down from the fight
You love a man with a broken soul
Giving him love that you don't owe
No matter what he says, what he claims
It's not his right to possess your mind
Listen to your body cry
It's not your fault that he's terrified
His will to love has already died
Despite you waiting here, patiently
Still, he won't let go of his past
Listen to his body cry
The world is full of men with trauma
Got beaten by their fathers
Or lost their mother's love
Got wronged by their brothers
Mistreated by their sisters
So they don't understand love
You love a man with a broken soul
Giving him love that you don't owe
No matter what he says, what he claims
It's not his right to possess your mind
Listen to your body cry
It's not your fault that he's terrified
His will to love has already died
Despite you waiting here, patiently
Still, he won't let go of his past
Listen to his body cry
He cries... He's tired
