Behind My Walls
Brick by brick I build my walls,
to hide myself.
I build them up, I build them tall.
I'm losing myself, will you come find me?
Break them down and I'll watch them fall.
I push and shove you, take my stance.
I brace myself
so it'll only take one glance,
to see I've changed. I shut down,
"I want to be alone", but take the chance
because I'm lying, I need you.
I'm terrified, I can't open up.
I can't expose myself,
I can't take the chance that you'll give up.
I swear this is what I want,
but I'm lying, on myself I'm giving up.
If I start to push, just loosen your grip.
Please, don't let me go.
When I seem different, when I start to slip,
When I start to fade, pull me back,
hold me tight, kiss my lips.
Don't let me dissapear.

"The feeling of being 'okay' does not imply that the person has risen above all their faults and emotional problems. It merely implies that they refuse to be paralyzed by them."
