Wall

I built up a wall to protect my heart

I thought if I tore it down for you, I’d be ok

It just seems like it’ll always be the same

You can’t promise what’s impossible

Eventually, we're going to crash and burn

And it’s going to hurt.

But wounds were not made to last

But the scars that are left behind

They will be a reminder of the past

That I’ve left behind

I’m tired of the tears

I’m tired of the pain

When will it end

When will it go away

They say it’s only for a season

But this season has been around way too long

Blocked up my heart so that I wouldn't fall apart

Finally, I opened up about what was weighing heavily on my mind

Slowly that wall is coming down again

We decide to put up these walls

Its a defense mechanism to protect our hearts

We're tired of being knocked down and being shattered into pieces

Some will just leave the pieces for us to put back together ourselves

This makes it worse

The wall gets rebuilt

Although bad it can also make us stronger

Why would I let you in again?

Will I break down again?

I want to make sure I can trust you

My heart was filled with so much fire and passion

Until one day it was dimmed

My heart is broke once again

We all have fears, we all shed tears,

We all have scars, we all have built up a wall to protect ourselves

My wall is my safe space

What’s your safe space?
