You taught me to always be on high alert, to always be on guard.
For so long, I kept a distance with people, and never let anyone new get close to me.
My walls were up so high, I didn’t think I would ever be safe to let them down.
That was your legacy in my life.

You taught me to always be on high alert, to always be on guard.
For so long, I kept a distance with people, and never let anyone new get close to me.
My walls were up so high, I didn’t think I would ever be safe to let them down.
That was your legacy in my life.
My walls are now down, because I am finally safe.
I’ve erased your mark on my life.
