I needed protection

Needed a place to hide

I wanted

A fortress

So love couldn't get inside

And

I made it strong and tall

I swore i'd never see it fall

And no more at all

Could break through this sheltered heart



Break through this sheltered heart

Break through this sheltered heart

Oh won't you tear down the walls

I've built all around me

I wanna learn to win

I think i could love again

Break down these walls

Break down this sheltered heart



Been keeping

My distance safe

Behind this guarded wall

Concealing my feelings

Till i couldn't feel at all

And

I closed and locked the door

But maybe i've been waiting for

Someone like you

To break down this sheltered heart
