I built a wall, around my fragile heart
So that no one else could ever tear it apart
It's worked for years, keeping the crowd at bay
Wanting people close but keeping them away
Then the universe sent a curve ball
One that was able to walk through that wall
Turning my wall from stone to air
Making me scared to hurt, scared to care
Conflicted and Confused, I don't know what to do
My defenses are down, my emotions in a coup
Terrified and Fascinated, like a moth to the flame
Into that dark night I scream out your name
Conflicting emotions float through my mind
Should I run away or try to make you mine?
My heart and my gut are truly at war
I hear you knocking but am scared to go through that door
Let you in or drive you away?
I want you close, but am afraid you won't stay
Can my heart take another blow?
All I can do is try to take it slow
I want you by my side, night and day
What can I do to make you stay?
