Wall Around My Heart

It seems like every time
I let down my guard
My heart gets a little more
Broken
Now, I’ve done my best
To pull myself up
To put myself back
Together
But that was before
I met you
And oh, you seem to be
Different


If you love me
If you feel the way I do
Then you’ve gotta know
About the pain that I’ve been through
And if you want to make this work
You’ll have to break down
The wall around my heart

On the inside of my heart
It’s oh so very fragile
It’s being held together by glue
And duct tape
But on the outside
Somehow I’ve managed
To put up a large wall
Of stone
But now I’m peaking over
I see you on the other side
And I just gotta know if I
Can trust you

If you love me
If you feel the way I do
Then you’ve gotta know
About the pain that I’ve been through
And if you want to make this work
You have to break down
The wall around my heart

And oh I think that you
Could be the one that’s true
The one that helps me through
But oh, one thing you should know
It’s gonna take a little time
For my wall to come down…

But if you love me
If you feel the way I do
Then you already know
About the pain that I’ve been through
And if you want to make this work
Then you have to break down
You have to tear down
You have to wear… down…
The wall around my heart…
