lyrics

FORTRESS
Tell me why I can't get you to stay 'neath the sun that
could brighten my day.
You didn't know what you'd want me to say
You didn't know it would get you someday.
You told me not to worry, you told me it's ok,
I see you built your fortress anyway.

Let the daylight shine through your hair
And take this soul of hopeless despair
From the hands of the angel that's torn from
The arms of a heaven that mourns.
And darkness now grows over the stillness of the night
I see you take your fortress to the light.

If you could teach me not to care
Then I'd take you most anywhere
But I don't think it's gonna work out
Quite that way tonight

Go away don't look in my eyes
I don't need another surprise
Tell me will we be found when it all
Comes back around?
I didn't need your beauty, I sure don't need your pain
Will we stand to lose our fortress in the rain?

If you could teach me not to care
Then I'd take you most anywhere
But I don't think it's gonna work out
Quite that way tonight
