[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)
[Bridge]
You tore it down, down down
You picked me up, up, up
Sometimes you gotta be stupid enough
You tore it down, down down
You picked me up, up, up
Sometimes you gotta be stupid enough

[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)
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
