Walls



I built my walls so high
When I let them down I cry
These walls weren't meant to be
As high as a mountain

Your love and safe and
Allow these walls to be down

The Wall came down and all she could do
Was cry,
No words to express
What she felt inside when
Opening up and letting those
Walls down

When you hold me
I feel so safe and content
So happily in love with you
These walls got broken down
And my heart is open to you
