I come running to you like a moth into a flame

You tell me: Take it easy —, but it's easier to say

Wish I didn't need so much of you

I hate to say, but I do

We're sleeping on our problems like we'll solve them in our dreams

We wake up early morning, and they're still under the sheets

I'm lost in my head, I'm spinning again

Trying to find more to say to you

Been up all night

All night running all my lines

But it’s only the truth

Been up all night

Not sure how to say this right

Got so much to lose

Never been so defenceless (oh)

Never been so defenceless (ooh)

You just keep on buildin' up your fences (oh)

But I've never been so defenceless (ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh)

But I've never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh)

No, you don't have to keep on being strong for me and you

Acting like you feel no pain, you know I know you do

And I can't get inside

When you're lost in your pride

But you don't have a thing to prove

Been up all night

All night running all my lines

But it's only the truth

Been up all night

Not sure how to say this right

Got so much to lose

Never been so defenceless (oh)

Never been so defenceless (ooh)

You just keep on buildin' up your fences (oh)

But I've never been so defenceless (ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh)

But i've never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I hope that I'm not asking too much

Just wanna be loved by you

(Don't you be so defensive)

And I'm too tired to be tough

Just wanna be loved by you

Never been so defenceless

Never been so defenceless

And you just keep on building up your fences

But I've never been so defenceless

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Never been so defenceless (oh)

Never been so defenceless (ooh)

You just keep on buildin' up your fences (oh)

But I've never been so defenceless (ooh)
