Fortress

Carry your scars, leaving mine wide open
Be the shield
Be the grave
Be the ghost
That fades every time
I give my love to someone else, mm

Take the fall
Empty the clip

Carry the weight till my spine caves in
Oh, why do I love you more than I love myself?
Save your world till I crash out
Oh, why do I love you more than I love myself?

Love you the way I'll never love me
Love you the way I'll never love me
Love you the way I'll never love me

Mercy me, I'm a stranger in my own skin, oh
Mercy me, I'm too scared to let myself in
Love just slides right off
When it's aimed towards myself, oh-oh, mm

Take the fall
Empty the clip

Carry the weight till my spine caves in
Oh, why do I love you more than I love myself?
Save your world till I crash out
Oh, why do I love you more than I love myself?

Love you the way I'll never love me
Love you the way I'll never love me
Love you the way I'll never love me

Love just slides right off
When it's aimed towards myself, oh-oh, mm
