The walls are there for a reason
As ugly and inconvenient as they may be
The walls are there for a reason
Though the reasons may only be clear to me

The trust is gone for a reason
People are fickle and they lie
The trust is absent for a reason
Though many may ask why

The love is gone for a reason
My memory has much it has stowed
The love is gone for a reason
Because of more hurt than is allowed to let show

The stability is gone for a reason
Too much changes in a glance
The stability is gone for a reason
Although stability never stood much of a chance

The distance is there for a reason
Can't let people or things become too dear
The distance is there for a reason
Betrayal is what I most fear
