There you sit inside your fortress
That you fixed to keep the rapids out
Atop the walls of tamed emotions looking down
At the fools who tried to come alive
Through someone's eyes and hope they'd be alright

And somehow something is bound for nothing
So why even waste your time?
Just be still and let the beauty pass you by
A disguise for pain and tears and rain
And nights you feel you'll never sleep again

I need you to fall
Take a step in the dark and I'll catch you
If you reach out for me I'll come get you
But I can't hold what you don't let go, no
So I need you to fall

I'd never lie to you
Maybe times we barely make it through the day
But I'll pull you close so us won't slip away
And I'll never break the heart I take
I'll love you till our fears can't breathe at all

I need you to fall
Take a step in the dark and I'll catch you
If you reach out for me I'll come get you
But I can't hold what you don't let go, no
So I need you to fall

Into my arms
I won't let you down now
Just want you to believe in something that's true
Strength and surrender
You'll never find someone who loves you like I do

So take a step in the dark and I'll catch you
If you reach out for me I'll come get you
But I can't hold what you don't let go, no
So I need you to fall

Take a step in the dark and I'll catch you
If you reach out for me I'll come get you
But I can't hold what you don't let go, no
So I need you to fall

Yes, I need you to fall, I want you to fall
'Cause I can't hold what you don't let go
