I rise steady

Like a castle wall

What makes you think you can climb me?

I’m terrified

I’ve been mounted before

And my heart is still sore from the madness

I rise steady

I want to love

But all those scorns and bruises

Well I’m terrified

I need some kind of protection

‘Cause my heart is still sore from the madness

I rise steady

Again like a castle wall

Promising myself to be strong this time

I’m terrified

But I’ll force my heart open

‘Cause my heart needs love after all the madness
