Sometimes bad things happen when you let people in: It’s easy to be fooled by your feelings within And harder to really see what hides beneath the skin. Building up walls is simple and hasty The perfect defense if used with strategy But after time it won’t be so easy. People try to break your barrier The damage makes the threat even scarier And you run because you know you can no longer carry her. What’s the point in trying to protect your heart? When you and everyone will always stay apart Because your “genius” walls aren’t so smart. She’ll give up when you keep lying And you’ll blame her for “not trying” Cause you now feel like you’re dying. So stop fighting and watching your own mind You’d be surprised at what you’d find When you let her in blind.
Shutting people out may keep you from getting hurt but it will also keep you from feeling love.
