Fortress

I'll wait at the gates

Or is it a fortress?

I'm calling the blame

Just let me hold her

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 fireworks 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 that anyone has ever loved

Anyone the way I loved you

So I wait at the gates

Of your fortress

I'm calling the blame

You should let me hold it

And all the things I thought I could rise above

I could not know the things I thought I was better than

I would know

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 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 that anyone could ever love

Anyone the way I loved 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 loved you

The way I love you
