Lyrics

This life will lead us astray
So I'm building my walls carefully
Like a bulletproof vest for my heart
You can put it to the test but I’m guarded
'Cause this life will lead us astray

I know
If I open up just a little bit
Then my heart gets crushed at the end of it
Afraid, that's true
But you can't get hurt if you never let
Someone close enough to have a chance
So you're never going to scale the walls of my fortress
You're never going to scale the walls of my fortress

This life will lead us astray
So I'm building more walls every day
Like a bulletproof vest for my thoughts
You know it hurts less if you don't feel loss
So I'll keep it all locked away

I know
If I open up just a little bit
Then my heart gets crushed at the end of it
Afraid, that's true
But you can't get hurt if you never let
Someone close enough to have a chance
So you're never going to scale the walls of my fortress
You're never going to scale the walls of my fortress

And I don't know where it's going to lead
Going through life with only me
No one to take me by the hand
No one to hold or understand
That I'm going crazy in my head

This life will lead us astray

I know
If I open up just a little bit
Then my heart gets crushed
Afraid, that's true
But you can't get hurt if you never let
Someone close enough to have a chance
So you're never going to scale the walls of my fortress
You're never going to scale the walls of my fortress
You're never going to scale the walls of my fortress
You're never going to scale the walls
