Giant Wall

[Verse 1]
You go on and on
Trying to believe
But you mark every promise
With the date they’ll leave
Lips say “stay”
Eyes say “prove it”
Every hug
Every touch
You’re already losing it
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “forever” feels like a joke
Burnt in your skin like old cigarette smoke
You trace old scars in the bathroom light
And swear you’ll never give them
The soft parts inside
[Chorus]
So you build your guard up
Like a giant wall
Around your heart so high
You feel so small
Every stone is another “trust me”
You watched fall
Yeah
You build your guard up
Like a giant wall
And dare them all
To climb
To climb
To fall
[Verse 2]
You talk in thorns
Wrapped around the truth
Laugh at love letters
Like they’re bad tattoos
You wear your black dress
Like a battle flag
Stitched from every red flag
You ever ignored
Dragged
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “I’m fine” with a crooked grin
Dancing on glass just to feel your skin
If they get close
The sirens scream
You turn the key on the cage
And throw it back in the sea
[Chorus]
So you build your guard up
Like a giant wall
Around your heart so high
You feel so small
Every stone is another “trust me”
You watched fall
Yeah
You build your guard up
Like a giant wall
And dare them all
To climb
To climb
To fall
[Bridge]
What if someone stayed
When the sky turned grey?
Would you let them see
What you lock away?
If a hand reached through
Every crack in the stone
Could you love them
Could you lose them
And still stand alone? (still stand alone)
[Chorus]
You build your guard up
Like a giant wall
Around your heart so high
You feel so small
Every stone is another “trust me”
You watched fall
But there’s thunder in your veins now
You won’t crawl
Yeah
You build your guard up
Like a giant wall
Till the day you choose
To tear it down
Or watch it fall
