In the still of the night, I lay alone
With thoughts running wild, my heart a stone
For I have pushed away, the ones I hold dear
In fear of getting hurt, bound by my own fear
With every step, I build a wall
To keep them out, away from my fall
For love is a risk, a gamble so grand
And I've been hurt before, I can't withstand
But as I push, my heart weighs heavy
For deep down I know, it's not them I envy
But the demons within, that hold me back
From letting love in, staying on track
I push away, with words and deeds
Hoping their hearts, will not take heed
For I fear hurting them, with my flaws so deep
So I push them away, into the darkness I creep
But as I lay here, with tears in my eyes
I realize the pain, of my own demise
For the people I love, are the ones I need
To break down the walls, set my heart free
For love is not perfect, but it's worth the risk
To feel the warmth, of a gentle kiss
To hold someone close, and never let go
To have them by my side, through high and low
So I vow to break, this cycle of fear
And let love in, and hold it dear
For pushing away, the people I love
Is not worth the pain, not worth the shove
And though it may be hard, to let down my guard
I'll do it for love, and let life be unbarred
For in the end, it's the connections we make
That fill our hearts, and truly awake
So I'll push away, these fears within
And open my heart, to love again
For the people I love, are worth the risk
And I'll hold them close, and never let them slip.
