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.
