Fortress

and I will watch you disappear
from my fortress over here
and i will never understand
every hearts a foreign land
and i'm so afraid to
so afraid to
love you

and I will turn my eyes away
from the harsh light of your day
and I have slept through pouring rain
it was all that kept me sane
and i'm so afraid to
so afraid to
love you

I can't help where I've come from
I can't help that I'm so numb
I'm dying for my city lights

You're dying from your country life
and i'm so afraid to
so afraid to
love you

and i have drawn lines in the sand
to remind us where we stand
and i'll build castles while you thirst
they'll fall down
but you'll fall first
and i'm so afraid to
so afraid to
love you
love you
love you
