Fortress

I'll wait at the gates

Or is it a fortress?

I'm calling the blame

Just let me own it.

There are things I thought I could rise above

And all the things I thought I was better than

And a coward might call it a conscience

And a liar might call it the truth

Nothing could ever make me more frightened

Than the thought of hurting you.

Watching you float across the isle of sand

Before the fire works began

I close my eyes

And wrap my arms around you.

Do you remember what I whispered love?

Do you remember what I whispered, love?

This is how it's meant to be

This is where we're supposed to be.

I don't think anyone

Has ever loved anyone

The way I loved you.

So I wait at the gates

Of your fortress.

I'm calling the blame

Won't you let me hold it?

And all the things I thought I could rise above

I could not.

And all the things I thought I was better than

I am not.

And a coward might call it a conscience

And a liar might call it the truth

Nothing could ever make me more frightened

Than the thought of hurting you.

How could I hurt you?

Watching you float across the isle of sand

Before the fireworks began.

I closed my eyes

And wrapped my arms around you.

Do you remember what I whispered love?

Do you remember what I whispered, love?

This is how it's meant to be

This is where we're supposed to be.

I don't think anyone

Could ever love anyone

The way I love you.

The way I love you.

The way I love you.

This is how it's meant to be

This is where we're supposed to be.

I don't think anyone

Could ever love anyone

The way I love you.

The way I love you.
