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
