Fortress
Go on and ring the alarm
We gave it all we had on the battleground
It just wasn't enough to keep us alive
And I died a hundred times for you
But it wasn't ever enough
All that's left is a broken heart and blood on the knife
Looking back, we were right in the middle of it
Take a look around and see all the damage done
You and I fought hard but no one won
We built a fortress in these walls
The taller they are, the worse the fall
It turns out we weren't built for battle
And these hands have scars to remind me that
We built a fortress and watched it fall
Our love was once a palace
Til' I fell victim to friendly fire, and now
You've mastered the element of surprise
I once was safe in your arms
Til you shot me straight through the heart
And I got lost behind enemy lines
Looking back, we were right in the middle of it
Take a look around and see all the damage done
You and I fought hard but no one won
We built a fortress in these walls
(Yeah, looking back we were right in the middle of it)
The taller they are, the worse the fall
(Yeah, looking back there was no way we could've known it)
It turns out we weren't built for battle
And these hands have scars to remind me that
We built a fortress and watched it fall
Looking back, we were right in the middle of it
Take a look around and see all the damage done
You and I were one in a million
We crossed a line, lost our minds in a civil war
And now it's done
Say goodbye to our kingdom come
We built a fortress in these walls
(Yeah, looking back we were right in the middle of it)
The taller they are, the worse the fall
(Yeah, looking back there was no way we could've known it)
It turns out we weren't built for battle
And these hands have scars to remind me that
We built a fortress and watched it fall
We gave it all we had on the battleground
It just wasn't enough to keep us alive
And I died a hundred times for you
But it wasn't ever enough
All that's left is a broken heart and blood on the knife
Looking back, we were right in the middle of it
Take a look around and see all the damage done
You and I fought hard but no one won
We built a fortress in these walls
The taller they are, the worse the fall
It turns out we weren't built for battle
And these hands have scars to remind me that
We built a fortress and watched it fall
Our love was once a palace
Til' I fell victim to friendly fire, and now
You've mastered the element of surprise
I once was safe in your arms
Til you shot me straight through the heart
And I got lost behind enemy lines
Looking back, we were right in the middle of it
Take a look around and see all the damage done
You and I fought hard but no one won
We built a fortress in these walls
(Yeah, looking back we were right in the middle of it)
The taller they are, the worse the fall
(Yeah, looking back there was no way we could've known it)
It turns out we weren't built for battle
And these hands have scars to remind me that
We built a fortress and watched it fall
Looking back, we were right in the middle of it
Take a look around and see all the damage done
You and I were one in a million
We crossed a line, lost our minds in a civil war
And now it's done
Say goodbye to our kingdom come
We built a fortress in these walls
(Yeah, looking back we were right in the middle of it)
The taller they are, the worse the fall
(Yeah, looking back there was no way we could've known it)
It turns out we weren't built for battle
And these hands have scars to remind me that
We built a fortress and watched it fall
