Fortified (Let Me In)

(Verse 1)
I'm not afraid of the kiss
I'm not afraid it'll make me build my walls
I've been waitin' for a man like you
To be the one who makes 'em fall
(Ad-lib: I want them to fall...)
You've seen the skin, but that's not the prize
(Ad-lib: It's not the real me...)
I'm a strong spiritual woman
Look me in the eyes
I'm more than just the body you see
I want to pray with you, I want intimacy
I want to be the one you trust with all your parts
But you can't have my body...
(Ad-lib: C'mon...)
If I can't have your heart.

(Chorus)
'Cause my walls are comin' down
I want to let you in
But I feel like your walls
Are more fortified and secret
(Ad-lib: What are you hidin'?)
I'm askin' you for intimacy
Not just the "perversion"
But you're a ministry man
Hidin' from the real version.
You're fortified.
(Ad-lib: Let me in...)
Why are you fortified?

(Verse 2)
It's only been since mid-October
But the connection's real
So why you only show me
The parts you want to feel?
(Ad-lib: Ugh...)
You're strugglin' with your urges
And I'm strugglin' with mine, too
But I'm brave enough to name it
So why can't you?
I can rub you down, I can take care of you
But that's the easy part, that's not what's true.
(Ad-lib: I want the real you...)

(Chorus)
'Cause my walls are comin' down
I want to let you in
But I feel like your walls
Are more fortified and secret
(Ad-lib: What are you hidin'?)
I'm askin' you for intimacy
Not just the "perversion"
But you're a ministry man
Hidin' from the real version.
You're fortified.
(Ad-lib: Let me in...)
Why are you fortified?

(Bridge)
So this is the real question
The one that we've been running from
(Ad-lib: Tell me the truth...)
Do you want me...
Or just a place to come?
Do you want my soul?
Or just a way to lose control?
I'm lettin' go...
(Ad-lib: I'm right here...)
So why won't you?

(Outro)
(Music fades, piano takes over)
My walls are down.
(Ad-lib: I'm right here...)
I see your secrets.
I see your ministry.
(Ad-lib: I see it all...)
I'm not afraid.
So why are you...
...fortified?
