The Walls We Built

(Verse 1) I held my heart, fragile, Fear of rejection, a silent sting. "What if," I whispered, a haunting refrain, Afraid to open, to feel the pain. A guardian spirit, a shadow so deep, His absence a wound, secrets I keep. He wasn't a hero, leading with light, Lost in his own darkness, a soul in the night. His love was a mirror, reflecting his hurt, A cycle of brokenness, a relentless chain.
(Chorus) But I have a haven, a fortress so strong, Her love like a beacon, where I belong. She taught me boundaries, to stand on my own, Break the chains, build a throne of my own. Yet I still stumble, echoes remain, Fear of betrayal, a constant refrain. My heart, a fortress, with walls so high, Protecting me from pain and lies.
(Verse 2) Another heart, a love that was true, But fear took control, the past broke through. Whispers of doubt, a venomous seed, I pushed him away, a love I couldn't heed. "Why are there others?" I cry, Scars of the past, a constant reply. I search for answers, in the stars above, To break the cycle, to find true love.
(Chorus) But I have a haven, a fortress so strong, Her love like a beacon, where I belong. She taught me boundaries, to stand on my own, Break the chains, build a throne of my own. Yet I still stumble, echoes remain, Fear of betrayal, a constant refrain. My heart, a fortress, with walls so high, Protecting me from pain and lies.
(Bridge) Fifteen years, the pain still lingers, Lost love, a heart that lingers With memories, echoes of what was, But I'm learning to rise, to shake off the dust. Whispers of ancestors, a guiding hand, Their strength within me, a powerful band. They built me a castle, a fortress of love, To weather the storms and rise above.
(Chorus) But I have a haven, a fortress so strong, Her love like a beacon, where I belong. She taught me boundaries, to stand on my own, Break the chains, build a throne of my own. Yet I still stumble, echoes remain, Fear of betrayal, a constant refrain. My heart, a fortress, with walls so high, Protecting me from pain and lies.
(Outro) But the walls are crumbling, the light shines through, I'm learning to trust, to love anew. With every step, I break the chains, Fear fades away, love remains. I'll find my way, I'll find my light, And break free from the darkness, into the bright.
