Lyrics:

A live version of Defend You is featured on Silverstein’s compilation album 18 Candles: The Early Years.
I'm lying down and you can't see why I've gone to sleep
Try to relate, can't give in to your 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
Falling to your knees

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 (Taught me)
When I looked up to you

So how can you expect me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes?
Defending you is getting harder everyday, day

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

So how can you expect me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes?
Defending you is getting harder everyday, day
So how can you expect me to just close my eyes
And forget your mistakes?
Defending you is getting harder everyday, day

You've lost it all
