Walls

Well it started off as a question and answer
A repertoire, a moment enhancer
A new life, a colony on Mars
When you cried in my arms
You opened up a window to how
I should never feel
But the empathetic side of me
Can't avoid
Something so real

The change happened slowly
But soon I could handle whatever you told me
I learned to be numb
From the words that you said
And the curses you threw
For fun, in my direction
A toxic reputation grew
Well my friends tried to warn me and my family too
But I was the savior you needed, to break through

Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I'm scared of what's on the outside
Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I'm scared of what's on the outside

And now you're gone and no one can get in
I locked the door and threw away the key
And built these walls around me
And now you're gone and no one can get in
I locked the door and threw away the key
And built these walls around me

Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I'm scared of what's on the outside
Brick by brick I built these walls
A fortress I pray will never fall
A place for me to hide
When I'm scared of what's on the outside
