Memories linger, a haunting past
Betrayals and heartache,
a legacy that lasts
I've learned to guard my heart,
to protect my soul
For trust is a luxury, a risk
I can't control
The past has taught me to be wary
Of those who claim to love, to beary
I've been burned before, I've been fooled
My heart has been used, my spirit has been cruel
So I keep my distance, I stay aloof
I don't let anyone get too close, too soon
I've built walls around my heart, a fortress strong
To keep out the pain, to keep out the wrong
But sometimes, I wish I could let go
Of the memories, of the past, of the fear
I wish I could trust again,
I wish I could love
But the past has made me wary, it's made me unsure
