Fortress Lyrics

by Bear's Den

[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
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Watching you float across the isle of sand
Before the fire works 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?

[Chorus]
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
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?

[Pre-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?

[Chorus]
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
