Walls Built Around My Heart

I've got walls

Built around me

So high that you can't see

The real me

Behind the walls

That show you

A happier side

A faker side

To me.

I don't let people in

Because all people do

Is break you

So I shut everyone out

And built walls

To protect both you

And my heart.

I don't want anyone

To see me cry

Because that's a sign of weakness

In my eyes

So I hide my emotion

I hide my pain

Behind a mask

That the walls have seem

To help me create.

I'm trapped behind

These walls of mine

That keep me in

And shut everyone else out

All I wanted

Was to protect my heart

I didn't know

My happiness

Would be the cost.
