love seemed so pure,
i thought it was forever.
it was gonna be what filled my holes,
the ones that, on my own, i could never.
but my eyes saw more
than my heart could take,
and years went by,
and i found out what love would make:
more holes,
more holes,
more holes in me.
more than i ever thought there could be.
i built the walls
brick by brick,
and i made sure
they were layers thick.
it was the only way
that they wouldn’t be able to see
all the holes
that they made in me.
inside these walls i was enough,
and if i gave someone the key,
i know it, i swear,
i know that they would leave.
someone better,
prettier or smarter,
someone who could make them laugh
just a little bit harder.
and so inside my walls i stayed,
and so inside my walls i live.
and so inside my walls i’ll remain,
‘cause i don’t have any chances i can give
