Like a suit of armor You slowly put it on A barrier to protect you No one can do you harm We used to be so close We can be that way again But first you've got to open up You've got to let me in You weren't meant to live your life alone Open up, now don't close me out You don't have to make it on your own Let me know what your life is about 'Cause I love you just the way your are And you know I'm talking straight from my heart No, you weren't meant to live your life alone The pressure that surrounds you Could never be as great As the flood of emotion You keep locked behind your, locked behind your gate That fortress that you're in It can become a prison ground Though there's danger, there is freedom When the walls come tumbling down You weren't meant to live your life alone Open up, now don't close me out You don't have to make it on your own Let me know what your life is about 'Cause I love you just the way your are And you know I'm talking straight from my heart No, you weren't meant to live your life alone You don't have to life your life alone You weren't meant to live your life alone
