These walls around my heart
were built a long time ago.
Promises you made from the start
persuaded me to let my love grow.

You brought me out of my comfort zone.
I chose to let you in.
Yet it felt like being led away from home,
never to return again.

Once more I played the fool.
All too well do I know the part.
A painful reminder of what not to do
as these walls grow higher around my heart.
