Breaking one piece at a time
Use them to build a wall too tall to climb
Again build defenses surrounding my heart
You ******* a kiss and armor falls apart
I will get extra locks to secure the front door
Never enough
Always need more
No security measure too extreme or strong
Around you they don't seem to last long
The protection effect you somehow render obsolete
Most advanced shield useless at your feet
Making steel and iron look like fences of paper cards
You waltz right through the entrance to the center of what it guards
No material immune to your touch
What that means for me is that I care way too much
You have wrapped around your finger from the moment you stroll in
An air of confidence that yells
"Do not even try. You'll never win!"
As you flash an easy smile
Wink one baby blue
Left with the realization there is nothing I can do
You sweep me off my feet faster than a witches broom can fly
Makes no difference if I look away or directly in your eye
You know to disarm any weapon I produce
Has taken half a lifetime to figure out there is no use
But maybe the trick is not to defend love at all
I'll attempt to embrace emotion and fall
And be on offense for the first time since I was broken
No more hiding a veil of words unspoken
I will make you see why I have been so afraid to connect
I was hesitant to let down high walls mistakes *****
Everything that is safe
Completely free from risk of danger
Also lacking luster

Sorry took so much time to open up and let you see
It turns out you not only understand
You are a part of me
