You’re the reason I have walls
Are you gonna care enough
To tear them down?
I’m broken on the inside
Had to turn my heart to stone so
You couldn’t get through
In the end,
Will you betray me….
If my emotions don’t
betray me first
Had to seal myself off so I don’t get hurt.
In the end, you’re like everyone else
You say you want to know me
But when you get deep inside
Will you just
back off and hide?
When I start to trust you
Will you let me down again?
I saw love
I saw peace
In blue eyes once
My trust was theirs,
though they could
Shatter me like glass.
But something isn’t beautiful
Because it lasts.
You gotta prove yourself to me
Will you just be
One in the crowd?
Will I have to deal with
your mockery,
Shut off the pain of your laughs
If you really love me
You can shatter me like glass
But
Something isn’t beautiful
Because it lasts.
If I really trust you
Will you let me down again?
Break my heart
with the pain of your laughs
Is it possible to love you
without splintering apart?
If I just broke
here and now
I’d be up above
Staring into blue
Blue skies,
Blue eyes
that love me so much.
I want them
To be with me.
I have you
Instead.
But something isn’t beautiful
Because it lasts
So prove yourself to me
Or shatter me like glass
I’ll lie to myself, say
I’m not hurt
Wonder how long
I’ll believe in that?
But something isn’t beautiful
Because it lasts.
