These walls surround me
Keeping me safe from harm
Keeping everyone out
Hiding my true emotions
From everyone I see

Wishing not to be this way
Being so locked up
From everything around me
Just hiding behind these barriers
Deep inside myself

Trying to keep everything out
So no one will see
What lies in my heart
And what's running through my mind

I feel that its the only thing I can do
From getting hurt again
By having my heart shattered into pieces
Having my brain jumbled
About to have a meltdown

I didn't like living in fear
Fear of being hurt by the one I loved
But isn't that what I'm doing now?
Living in fear
And hiding behind these walls

The walls that I built
To keep everything out
Trying to protect myself
From everything that wants to hurt me

Once in a while something will get through
Weather to hurt me or not
I'm not used to it
But I guess I'll have to adapt
Because these walls are beginning to crack
And soon will be no more
