That's Why

Lyrics
Far below the surface you can hear my soul cry
The scream of a child who believes he's gonna die
I thought I knew the answer, but I just lived a lie
You're hear, you're the answer, that's why.
I tried to build a fortress, walls of granite to the sky
A castle meant to save me, just a place for me to hide
But feelings of rejection I could not deny
You were waiting, you're the answer, that's why
That's why I live life undefended
That's why my castle lies in ruins - yeah
Because to hide I must unveil
I give it all right up to you.
When I'm deep inside of me looking evil in it's eye
I believe I need something to help me just get by
But all I'm really longing for is just what you supply
If only I believed it, I'd fly.
That's why I live life undefended
That's why my castle lies in ruins - yeah
Because to hide I must unveil
I give it all right up to you.
I fear that I am mortal, I'll die
But you're hear, you're the answer, so why?
Still I fear that I am mortal, I'lldie
So I protect me, incorrectly, that's why.
That's why I live life undefended
That's why my castle lies in ruins - yeah
Because to hide I must unveil
I give it up all right up to you.
That's why I live life undefended - yeah
That's why my castle lies in ruins
Because to hide I must unveil
I give it up all right up to you.
