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
