I never meant to let my guard down for so long,
building these walls is all I've ever known.
So I'm going to keep them rising high,
way to scared to let you inside
and see the mess I have been for far too long!

I'm so scared that if I let you in,
you'll be the same as everybody else around.
So walk away and let me down right now
before I have to face the pain all over again.
I don't think I can handle another lie right now!

I can feel myself caving into your words,
I wish I could really tell you how much this hurts!
So I will try pushing you away,
never saying what I really want to say
and let the pain take over my life once again.

If I let you in, I want to know that you will stay!
I don't want to spend another night
trying to fight off every dark thought inside my mind alone.
This disease is getting old, and I just want to feel at home
But there is something deep inside, that wants to push me off the edge.

So if I let my guard down one of these nights,
will you promise me that we will be alright.
Because I want someone to understand
but I can't stand the thought of losing everyone again.
So if i tell you what I'm thinking, can you promise me you'll stay?
