Like a suit of armor
You slowly put it on
A barrier to protect you
No one can do you harm
We used to be so close
We can be that way again
But first you've got to open up
You've got to let me in
chorus:
You weren't meant to live your life alone
Open up, now don't close me out
You don't have to make it on your own
Let me know what your life is about
'Cause I love you just the way your are
And you know I'm talking straight from my heart
No, you weren't meant to live your life alone
The pressure that surrounds you
Could never be as great
As the flood of emotion
You keep locked behind your, locked behind your gate
That fortress that you're in
It can become a prison ground
Though there's danger, there is freedom
When the walls come tumbling down
(chorus)
You don't have to life your life alone
You weren't meant to live your life alone
