Lyrics of Defenceless by Louis Tomlinson

verse

I come runnin' to you like a moth into a flame
You tell me, "Take it easy", but it's easier to say
"Wish I didn't need so much of you"
I hate to say, but I do

verse

We're sleepin' on our problems
Like we'll solve them in our dreams
We wake up early mornin', and they're still under the sheets
I'm lost in my head, I'm spinnin' again
Tryna find what to say to you

pre-chorus

Been up all night, all night, runnin' all my lines
But it's only the truth
Been up all night, not sure how to say this right
Got so much to lose

chorus

Never been so defenceless (oh-oh)
Never been so defenceless (ooh-ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (oh-oh)
But I've never been so defenceless (ooh-ooh)

chorus

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
But I've never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

verse

No, you don't have to keep on bein' strong for me and you
Actin' like you feel no pain, you know I know you do
And I can't get inside when you're lost in your pride
But you don't have a thing to prove

pre-chorus

Been up all night, all night, runnin' all my lines
But it's only the truth
Been up all night, not sure how to say this right
Got so much to lose

chorus

Never been so defenceless (oh-oh)
Never been so defenceless (ooh-ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (oh-oh)
But I've never been so defenceless (ooh-ooh)

chorus

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
But I've never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

bridge

(I hope that) I'm not askin' too much
Just wanna be loved by you (don't you be so defensive)
And I'm too tired to be tough
Just wanna be loved by you

chorus

Never been so defenceless
Never been so defenceless
And you just keep on buildin' up your fences
But I've never been so defenceless

chorus

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

outro

Never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
Never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
But I've never been so defenceless (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
