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 closed 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 And she'll 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 closed 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 that I love you The way I love you

Am I lost to wonder forever Perhaps for the rest of my days? If all that has been surrendered will just go to waste You left me out in the distance To wander this world on my own Sometimes it's so hard to admit it but I can't let go I can't let you go Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down I know we can't save it all No we can't save it all, everything is gone Oh, I have seen it all Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down Go on and take it all Go on and take it all One thing I know is for certain We cannot have all we want Still this will not stop the hurting, it is never gone Now I hold on to the one thing Too fragile to stand on its own The fortress we built it is crumbling still I can't let go I can't let you go Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down I know we can't save it all No we can't save it all, everything is gone Oh, I have seen it all Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down Oh, there'll come a time, this I know There'll come a time, you'll look back and regret when it's gone You'll look back and regret when it's gone There'll come a time, this I know There'll come a time, you look back and regret when it's gone You'll look back and regret when it's gone In the end, too far gone, this I can't deny Still I keep holding on, you know There's still time On the outside looking in everything seems fine But the fortress caving in comes down On me tonight Go on and take it all Go on and take it all, fortress coming down I know we can't save it all No we can't save it all, everything is gone Oh, I have seen it all Oh, I have seen it all, the fortress coming down Go on and take it all Go on and take it all Just take it all Just take it all Just take it all
