Flashbacks & Walls

Verse 1
When the storm rolls in, I feel the rain
But it's not the moment, it's the past again
A flash of pain that I can't erase
A distant echo I can't seem to face
Though I've walked these roads a thousand times
It's the shadows that keep crossing my mind
I say I trust, but I hold back still
Even when my heart says it's real

Pre-Chorus
I've been here before, yeah, I've fought this fight
But the memories take me to a different light
I know I'm stronger than I seem, I've been through it all
But I built these walls so high, that I still fear the fall

Chorus
Flashbacks come, take me away
To a place I thought I'd escaped
I don't wanna relive that pain
But it finds me all the same
I know I should trust, let you in
But the weight of the past pulls me in
Though I've overcome, I stand tall
It's just not as easy as they think at all

Verse 2
I rush into fires without a second glance
Thinking I'm strong like I've got a chance
But when the smoke clears and I look around
Everything's fine, I was just breaking down
People tell me I've been through worse
But it doesn't ease this heavy curse
Of holding on when I should let go
Of building walls, no one should know

Pre-Chorus
I've learned the lessons, but I still can't shake
The fear that every move I make is a mistake
I know I'm stronger than the fears I keep
But even heroes lose sleep

Chorus
Flashbacks come, take me away
To a place I thought I'd escaped
I don't wanna relive that pain
But it finds me all the same
I know I should trust, let you in
But the weight of the past pulls me in
Though I've overcome, I stand tall
It's just not as easy as they think at all

Bridge
It's hard to explain how it feels inside
To trust the moment when your soul wants to hide
I've conquered battles, I've fought through the flames
But these scars still whisper my name

Chorus (reprise)
Flashbacks come, take me away
To a place I thought I'd escaped
I don't wanna relive that pain
But it finds me all the same
I know I should trust, let you in
But the weight of the past pulls me in
Though I've overcome, I stand tall
It's just not as easy as they think at all

Outro
I've been through the fire, I've been through the fight
But the flashbacks remind me every night
One day I'll trust without a doubt
But for now, I'm just working it out
