Walls

Walls

As the rain beats on my window, I sit here by the fire and
dream about those days
When we talked all night together about the things we
should do while we were young and brave
Now I understand the distance, a fearless heart can take you only half the way
And the thoughts that fill my eyes with tears, burn me like a flame

I’m going to build a wall around my heart
I’m going to get inside before the shooting starts
I’m gonna run, I’m gonna hide
I’m going to build a wall around my heart

All those sunny days in April, rainy days in June, December was so cold
I thought you were gone forever, broke my heart, was such a heavy load
Now here you stand before me, the lines of your face tell the story that you’ve made
You just can’t run forever, it’s all over now, the shadows start to fade

I’m going to build a wall around my heart
I’m going to get inside before the shooting starts
I’m gonna run, I’m gonna hide
I’m going to build a wall around my heart
