Song Lyrics

"Fortress Of Pride"

by Scott Brutsche
Album: Inward Out

So much better, on your own
Walls of safety standing strong
No one sees on the inside
Don't you know
This home is not quite sure

Let Me in, let Me in, let Me in to find a way
Your know it's cold inside, and starting to rain
Well there's pain inside
There's hurt within these walls
Nobody finds me
In this fortress of pride
I build these walls around me
Now nobody's here, to hear me say

'Well i need you tonight
I'm in a fight with something inside'
This pride, well it hides away again
Who i am doesn't show
Then you know not how to feel
What is real to me
It hides away again, and again

Against me, see they turn away
The only way, surely is mine
What i want is what i want
And what i want is for you
Looking everywhere but inside

Let Me in, let Me in, let Me in to find a way
Your know it's cold inside and starting to rain
Well there's pain inside
Well there's hurt within these walls
Nobody finds me, in this fortress of pride
I build these walls around me
Now nobody's here, to hear me say

'Well i need you tonight
I'm in a fight with something inside'
This pride, well it hides away again
Who i am doesn't show
Then you know not how to feel
What is real to me, it hides away again.

I pull a brick from years ago;
suddenly i am exposed for what,
and who i really am.
This is me inside, i build these walls,
try to hide away, but I'm not so safe
until these walls of mine
come tumbling, but time and time again i build them,
higher than i ever could bring down

Only I'm waiting My friend
For you to let Me in this time
And into your heart
When the heart is open love comes pouring in
Been waiting awhile so let's begin to live this life I have for you
Come, come away and walk beside Me
I am here just as much as you are.

Comfort, empty invitation
Don't you know that i do alone
Left behind, i fall behind without you
Only living for myself.

Let Me in, let Me in, let Me in to find a way
You know it's cold inside, and starting to rain
Well there's pain inside, well there's hurt within these walls
Nobody finds me, in this fortress of pride
I build these walls around me
Now nobody's here, to hear me say

'Well i need you tonight
I'm in a fight with something inside'
This pride, well it hides away again
Who i am doesn't show
Then you know not how to feel
What is real to me
Well it hides away again

Another brick pulled from years ago, even more i am exposed for what,
and who i really am. This is me inside, i build these walls try to hide away,
But I'm not so safe, until these walls of mine come tumbling, but time and time again i build them, higher than i ever could bring down

Only I'm waiting my friend
For you to let me in this time
And into your heart
Pride is passing
Walls come crashing down in your despair
You know I care for you; I came to be your home
Come, come away and walk beside Me
I am here just as much as you are
Come, come away and walk beside Me
I am here just as much as you are.
I am here just as much as you are, I am here
