[Verse 1]
            
I keep a close

              
 watch on this

          
 heart of mine
            
I keep my eyes

              
 wide open all

     
 the time.
            
I keep the end

              
s out for the 

         
tie that binds
              
Because you're

            
 mine, I walk 

    
the line

I find it very

              
, very easy to

    
 be true
            
I find myself 

              
alone when eac

         
h day is throu

Yes, I'll admi
