[Verse 1]
             
Your heart is 

        
like a fortres

s
             
Keep your feel

             
ings locked aw

ay
        
Is it easier?
            
Does it make y

                 
ou feel safe?
             
You wander thr

           
ough the darkn

ess
             
Of wilderness 

             
behind your ey

es
         
I know you’re 

afraid
            
But you gotta 

      
move on

[Chorus 1]
             
Every fortress

   
 falls
             
It is not the 

 
end
             
It ain't if yo

    
u fall
             
But how you ri

             
se that says w

             
ho you really 


are
            
So get up and 

        
come through
              
If ever your f

  
ortress caves

You're always 

safe

[Verse 2]

Yet, I don't t

I don't want t

    
o fail you so
             
I tell you the

       
 awful truth
             
Everyone faces

heir own
             
As I have done

[Chorus 2]
