There are land mines under your skin
Is that the reason you won't let me in?
Fully--I mean, there are parts that I've seen
But you've built a wall
It's tough and it's tall,
and I doubt you'd know how to break through at all
Even if you tried to climb, you'd probably fall
How many bridges can two people share?
You burn them all down, leaving me to repair
You should try to approach a bridge that I've built
Take my hand and cross it, without giving me guilt
I'd travel across waters with you
on the bet that maybe one day you'd be true
Do you not see what you've put me through?
This wall I've torn down to get closer to you?
At any moment you're destined to blow,
Your current grabs me, I'm stuck in the undertow
