I come running to you like a moth into a 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
We wake up early morning and they’re still under the sheets
I’m lost in my head, I’m spinning again
Trying to find more to say to you

Been up all night
All night running 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 defenceless (oh)
Never been so defenceless (ooh)
You just keep on buildin’ up your fences (oh)
But I’ve never been so defenceless (ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You just keep on buildin’ up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh)
But I’ve never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh)

No, you don’t have to keep on being 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
But you don’t have a thing to prove

Been up all night
All night running 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 defenceless (oh)
Never been so defenceless (ooh)
You just keep on buildin’ up your fences (oh)
But I’ve never been so defenceless (ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You just keep on buildin’ up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh)
But i’ve never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh)

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 defenceless
Never been so defenceless
And you just keep on building up your fences
But I’ve never been so defenceless

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You just keep on buildin’ up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Never been so defenceless (oh)
Never been so defenceless (ooh)
You just keep on buildin’ up your fences (oh)
But I’ve never been so defenceless (ooh)
