Walls

We build up walls to guard our hearts

Because we're afraid to be torn apart

We are afraid to love,

but are quick judge

Once we let them someone within our walls

The tiniest breach of trust 

Causes us to kick them out

We doubt ourselves 

Doubt our judgement 

We wonder why we ever let them in 

Then we wonder why we ever let them out

But, yet we still have an irresistible desire

to be irresistible desired 

We need love

But we're afraid to let someone love us

Because we don't want to be broken again

We wear masks

to keep people from asking questions

Questions we're not ready to answer

Because we have no answer

We want love,

But are unwilling to tear down that wall

So the love we seek 

Never comes at all

Then we start the blaming game

Never realizing we're the ones to blame
