Am I lost to wander forever
|
Perhaps for the rest of my days?
|
If all that has been surrendered will just go to waste
|
|
You left me out in the distance
|
To wander this world on my own
|
Sometimes it¡¯s so hard to admit it but I can¡¯t let go
|
I can¡¯t let you go
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Go on and take it all, go on and take it all
|
Fortress coming down
|
I know we can¡¯t save it all, I know we can¡¯t save it all
|
Everything is gone
|
Oh I have seen it all, oh I have seen it all
|
Fortress coming down
|
Go on and take it all, go on and take it all
|
|
One thing I know is for certain
|
We cannot have all we want
|
Still this will not stop the hurting. It is never gone
|
|
Now I hold on to the one thing
|
Too fragile to stand on its own
|
The fortress we built?it is crumbling. Still I can¡¯t let go
|
I can¡¯t let you go
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Fortress coming down
|
|
There¡¯ll come a time, yes I know
|
There¡¯ll come a time
|
You¡¯ll look back and regret when it¡¯s gone
|
You¡¯ll look back and regret when it¡¯s gone
|
There¡¯ll come a time yes I know
|
There¡¯ll come a time
|
You'll look back and regret when it¡¯s gone
|
You¡¯ll look back and regret when it¡¯s gone
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
In the end, too far gone, this I can¡¯t deny
|
Still I keep holding on.
|
You know there¡¯s still time
|
|
On the outside looking in everything seems fine
|
But the fortress caving in.
|
Comes down on me tonight
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Just take it all
|
Just take it all
|
Just take it all
|
