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 fireworks began I closed 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 And she'll 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 that I love you The way I love you
