The Fortress of My Heart
The Fortress of My Heart
I've taken all the stones
sinners cast in their disgrace
and used them to build castles
that surround the secret place
where I hide all my sorrows
and the guilt that I can't face
with hope that some tomorrow
will finally bring his grace
I've picked up every piece
of slack to clear the way
for people to run by me
who don't ask if I'm okay
they just bask in all the spoils
while I slave my life away
but I've given all I have
and there's no road left to follow
I need you now to be the one
who gets me through tomorrow
I've learned that love is all I fear
I fear the fear of losing things
that I don't know I even want
cause pain is all it brings
