Beware

Bitter Ruin

I snagged myself on your barbed defences
And my chainmail unravelled as if woven from wool
And so to lead by example I had to get out before I was trampled
So heed my warning and steer well clear
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her then tread with care
'Cause that girl is trouble, take it from me
My flesh was scored by your thorny branches
Now the patch work I'm tailored from is ripped at the seams
And the thread-less warning flags waved as though the wind was mad
But I chose not to notice and got caught in your snare
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with him then tread with care
'Cause that guy is trouble, take it from me
And you've left your mark girl, a blot on my page
I would tippex you out but that only hides the pain
Well you've left your mark boy, you've bulldozed my walls
I could build them up brick by brick but they never stand quite as tall
Beware, please beware
If you're gonna get involved with her/him then tread with care
'Cause that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me
Beware/yeah
Beware/yeah
Beware/yeah
Beware
'Cause that girl/guy is trouble, take it from me
