"Fortress" lyrics

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 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 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

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
