lyrics

Walls

everything they said was love
wasn't at all
everything my heart dreamed of
only met a wall
so I built my own
brick by brick
'cause it was safer
'cause it was safer
but they still came in
and they tore me down
it was never safe there
it was never safe there

I left with my life
what kind of life do I speak of
with a heart so hurt
I can barely feel loved

everything they taught me
I've had to unlearn
but I'm left with these open wounds
that just burn and burn
I want myself who I was born to be
to come back to me
I want everything you took from me
to come back to me

I left with my life
what kind of life do I speak of
with a heart so hurt
I can barely feel loved
