Take it off-- I'll let down mine
Take it off-- If you let down yours
Take it off-- I'll let down mine
Take it off-- just let down your GUARD
Knowing love may mean knowing pain
I've felt both before, and I'll feel both again
Through the years, I've built this wall
Solid brick, five feet tall
I built it because I was hurt before
But there comes a time to open up the door
Take it off-- I'll show you mine
Take it off-- Just show me yours
Take it off-- I'll show you mine
Take it off-- Show me your HEART
Let down your guard. Show me your heart
Let down your guard. Show me your heart
I unlatch the chain, I turn the key
I crack the door, and take a peek
There goes my cold, hard security
Hold on to my skeleton key
