No defense

Conflict and jeopardy,
I avoid confrontation,
Can't dream up the reasons why you'd try to strip my confidence.
I have no defense

given no motive to stab me in the back,
I've only been your friend for years and years to come
I have no defense.

is it a joke?
cause I'm not laughing
well I guess it is,
cause I'm still standing
my ears are ringing
lets see who keeps stabbing

feel free to take hits on me
and dont worry about an apology
cause it makes you feel good to stand your ground

when it comes to play the game
you know I'm outta my league
tongue-tied battered and bruised
can't get up to speed

and if you make the rules you break 'em
I feel like a fool whos been taken through the ringer
I have no defense

is it a joke?
cause I'm not laughing
well I guess it is,
cause I'm still standing
my ears are ringing
lets see who keeps stabbing

feel free to take hits on me
and dont worry about an apology
cause it makes you feel good to stand your ground

I know it takes some, I know it takes some heart.
