[Verse 1]
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
We're sleepin' on our problems like we'll solve them in our dreams
We wake up early morning 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)
Never been so defenceless (Ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (Oh)
But I've never been so defenceless (Ooh)

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

[Verse 2]
No, you don’t have to keep on being strong for me and you
Acting 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)
Never been so defenceless (Ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (Oh)
But I've never been so defenceless (Ooh)

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

[Bridge]
I hope that I'm not asking 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

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

[Chorus]
Never been so defenceless (Oh)
Never been so defenceless (Ooh)
You just keep on buildin' up your fences (Oh)
But I've never been so defenceless (Ooh)

Louis William Tomlinson, born Louis Troy Austin on December 24th, 1991, is an English pop singer-songwriter best known for his work as part of British-Irish sensation One Direction. Like his bandmates, Louis auditioned as a solo act on X-Factor UK in 2010 before being put into the group. Although they only came in third place, the boys became an international success and made five full albums, (Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, FOUR, and Made In The A.M.).

1D began an indefinite hiatus in 2015, and the next year, Louis became a father to Freddie Reign Tomlinson. In December 2016, Louis' mother Johannah Deakin died of leukemia and Louis dedicated his first performance of his debut single “Just Hold On” – a collaboration with “Steve Aoki” – to her.

Louis released his second single “Back to You,” a collaboration with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals in July 2017. Two more singles, “Just Like You” and “Miss You,” were released later that year.
