Lyrics:
Keep my back to the wall,
Read the room, trust no one
Danger’s just the air I breathe,
Regret’s what I run from
I got habits, sharp and old
Never learned to drop my guard
Nothing soft survives in me—
That’s why I make it this far
Hard hands, closed heart
No promises, no fresh start
I don’t let anybody see
What this life’s taken out of me
Every look, every touch,
I keep it locked up, out of reach
Covert affections—
Secrets I’ll never teach
Some scars run deeper than most
I laugh it off, crack a line
Truth is, I’d rather be alone
Than let someone cross that line
If she ever figured me out
She’d see a mess she can’t fix
So I push her away,
Pretend I don’t care—
That’s my only trick
Hard hands, closed heart
No promises, no fresh start
I don’t let anybody see
What this life’s taken out of me
Every look, every touch,
I keep it locked up, out of reach
Covert affections—
Secrets I’ll never teach
Want and need are just mistakes
I learned the hard way
What you hide keeps you safe
What you feel gets you played
Hard hands, closed heart
No promises, no fresh start
I don’t let anybody see
What this life’s taken out of me
Every look, every touch,
I keep it locked up, out of reach
Covert affections—
Secrets I’ll never teach
Covert affections—
Locked down, always out of reach
