Colder

Each day I grow stronger on my own

Getting used to the idea of  being alone

Looking back to realize how much I've grown

Though my heart grows colder, turning to stone 

Because the past is in the past, I now accept

To live with the promises that weren't kept

Each time I get burned a new scar appears

Each time I get hurt I cry less and less tears

I learn from mistakes that have broken my heart

And now I'm more careful, right from the start 

I build up my walls and let no one in

Last time I got hurt; they were much too thin

In a way I'm myself, though not quite the same

And I guess passing time is the one thing to blame

My innocence has begun to decay

Because wounds will heal, but the scars will stay
