Fortress

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 anyone has ever loved Anyone the way I loved you [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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? [Chorus] Watching you float across the isle of sand Before the fireworks began I close 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 [Outro] 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
