[Verse 1]
Walls up, no one could reach me
Real emotion felt so far away
Too smart, no one could teach me
How do you rescue a castaway?

[Chorus]
You put your arms around me and I started to feel
So hi-i-i-i-i-i-gh, there's a crack in the shield
Before you came around me I was desperately numb
Glad I-I-I-I-I-I-I was stupid enough
To let you in, to hold you close
To take the pain and let it go (Let it go)
I-I-I-I-I-I-I was stupid enough

[Verse 2]
I thought I was stuck completely
You showed me how to find a way (Find a way)
Heartbeat divin' so deeply
Touchin' me down to my vertebrae (Vertebrae)

[Chorus]
You put your arms around me and I started to feel
So hi-i-i-i-i-i-gh, there's a crack in the shield
Before you came around me I was desperately numb
Glad I-I-I-I-I-I-I was stupid enough
To let you in, to hold you close
To take the pain and let it go (Let it go)
