The Wall

He made me build a wall
Around my bleeding heart
I made sure that it couldn’t fall
But, I tore you apart

You said you loved me anyway
You promised me so true
And in my heart I know somehow
That I’d always loved you, too

My wall began to crumble
As panic began to grow
What would I do without it?
But you were making my heart glow

You said that you would help me
Keep my wall so strong
I knew you didn’t like it
But still you played along

I began to trust you
Against my hearts will
But I let you in anyway
And I’m glad you love me still

So here we are together
Walking hand in hand
And yes I’m truly happy
And I don’t want this to end
