I come runnin' to you like a moth into flame
You tell me, "Take it easy" but it's easier to say
Wish I didn't need so much of you
I hate to say, but I do
We're sleeping on our problems like we'll solve them in our dreams
Wake up early mornin' and they're still under the sheets
I'm lost in my head, I'm spinnin' again
Tryna find more to say to you

Been up all night
All night, runnin' all my lines
But it's only the truth
Been up all night
Not sure how to say this right
Got so much to lose

Never been so defenseless
Never been so defenseless
You just keep on building up your fences
But I've never been so defenseless
You just keep on building up your fences
But I've never been so defenseless

No, you don't have to keep on bein' strong for me and you
Acting like you feel no pain, you know I know you do
And you can't get inside when you're lost in your pride
You don't have a thing to prove

Been up all night
All night, runnin' all my lines
But it's only the truth
Been up all night
Not sure how to say this right
Got so much to lose

Never been so defenseless
Never been so defenseless
You just keep on building up your fences
But I've never been so defenseless
You just keep on building up your fences
But I've never been so defenseless

I hope that I'm not asking too much
Just wanna be loved by you (don't you be so defensive)
And I'm too tired to be tough
Just wanna be loved by you

Never been so defenseless
Never been so defenseless
And you just keep on building up your fences
But I've never been so defenseless
You just keep on building up your fences
Defenseless
Never been so defenseless
Never been so defenseless
You just keep on building up your fences
But I've never been so defenseless
