Sometimes You Build Your Walls


Sometimes you build your walls
Just to turn around and climb them
You have two deadbolts on the door to your heart
Yet throw open the windows to let the sun in

Fear keeping your defenses up
You long for the one safe enough to let in
You keep your distance inside yourself
So much pain, do you dare hope again

You find yourself staring intently into his eyes
Trying desperately to discern his soul
Could he be the one you've dreamed of
That can take you shattered heart and make it whole

And you wonder....

Are you man enough to tear down my walls
And take my hand to lead me safely through
The crumbling ruins of my life
Do you have the strength to help me start a new
