Lyrics

When you’re tearing down the walls You’ve built with your own hands You follow the fault line Back to where it all began And as you pull the ramparts down one brick at a time Try not to lose yourself in the rubble Try not to lose yourself in the crush I have given up my heart I have felt the rush Of knowing that a single word Could turn it all to dust But I couldn’t take the damages I couldn’t take the pain And I stole it back and hid it deep Behind the battlements Even I can’t find it now Behind the battlements Lonely hearts can’t whisper Secrets that they know They have to hide their precious things Afraid to let them show Tearing all the towers down And opening the gates Is virtually impossible When love turns into hate And it’s hard to know the difference When you see it all through pain My walls have grown so high That they are choking out the light It’s hard to see the reasons For continuing to fight Maybe love can fracture these foundations that I’ve built Maybe if I tear it down I’ll find myself again Maybe this is just the cost Of letting someone in
