Shattered Walls

Verse 1
I swore I’d never fall again,
Trapped inside the rage and pain.
Every touch, every word I fear,
Love’s a trap, it’s never clear.

You come back, expecting me whole,
But I’m broken, bruised, and cold.
I see your eyes, but can’t believe,
That love can live where it used to bleed.

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been burned, I’ve been betrayed,
I’ve learned the cost, the games they played.
And yet you stand there, wanting in,
I’m scared to trust, scared to begin.

Chorus
I want to scream, I want to fight,
I want to vanish in the night.
I hate the way my heart still aches,
I fear the bond that love remakes.
Can I let you near, can I let go,
Or will the pain just overflow?

Verse 2
Memories crawl like ghosts in my head,
Every promise, every word unsaid.
I want to run, to hide, to resist,
To lock away the fragile bliss.

You say you’ll heal me, you say you care,
But how do I know it won’t tear?
Every step forward feels like a lie,
Every heartbeat wonders why.

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been burned, I’ve been betrayed,
I’ve learned the cost, the games they played.
And yet you stand there, wanting in,
I’m scared to trust, scared to begin.

Chorus
I want to scream, I want to fight,
I want to vanish in the night.
I hate the way my heart still aches,
I fear the bond that love remakes.
Can I let you near, can I let go,
Or will the pain just overflow?

Bridge
I’ve built these walls, high and strong,
Love left me broken, left me wrong.
Your hands reach out, but I recoil,
I’m not ready to walk that mile.

Final Chorus
I want to scream, I want to fight,
I want to vanish in the night.
I hate the way my heart still aches,
I fear the bond that love remakes.
Maybe one day I’ll let you in,
But tonight, I’m lost in my own skin.

Outro
Shattered walls, scars that bleed,
A heart too wary to trust, to need.
You wait for me, but I can’t see,
If I’ll survive this, or just break free.
