[Verse]
Keep your walls up high they said
Don't let 'em in they'll play instead
Trust is paper thin they might break you
Smile is a blade and they will fake you
[Chorus]
Keep your walls up somebody will burn
Hearts in the fire some lessons you learn
Build 'em like steel don't let them see inside
That's where the shadows find a place to hide
[Verse 2]
Promises are whispers in a storm
Cold outside but inside's your warm
They'll sell you stars that quickly fade
Shattered dreams in a masquerade
[Chorus]
Keep your walls up somebody will burn
Hearts in the fire some lessons you learn
Build 'em like steel don't let them see inside
That's where the shadows find a place to hide
[Bridge]
Every tear a brick every scar a stone
Strength in the fortress you're better alone
The world is a fox in a coat of gold
Keep your walls up till you’re stone cold
[Chorus]
Keep your walls up somebody will burn
Hearts in the fire some lessons you learn
Build 'em like steel don't let them see inside
That's where the shadows find a place to hide
