Let's Tear Down These Walls

I've been holding this inside my chest

A truth I can't let rest

You're the spark that lights my sky

But I see the fear in your eyes

I know you're scared I'll be like him

A shadow lurking on a whim

Baby I'm scared you'll be her too

But love is worth the risk with you

So let's tear these walls down brick by brick

Forget the pain that made us sick

I'm confessing now I'm crushing on you

Tell me baby do you feel it too

I see the light when you walk my way

Words get stuck but my heart wants to say

I’m crushing on you

Yeah

It’s true

But I’m scared you’ll see my cracks shine through

Let’s tear these walls down brick by brick

Let the past fade like a candle wick

I know you’re afraid I’ll be like him

Baby I’m scared you’ll be her again

Every smile feels like a stolen glow

I wonder if your heart beats slow

When I’m near

Do you feel it too

Or am I lost in this dream of you

We’re tangled in fears

Shadows in the air

But I want to try

I want to care

Take my hand

We’ll step through the pain

We’ll rewrite love in a brand new frame

Let’s tear these walls down brick by brick

Let the past fade like a candle wick

I know you’re afraid I’ll be like him

Baby I’m scared you’ll be her again

I know it's hard to trust again

When your heart's been through the wind

But I'll stand steady hold your hand

We can build a love that stands

Every scar you wear I see

They don't scare me they set you free

I'm not perfect but I'm true

Baby let me be the one for you

So let's tear these walls down brick by brick

Forget the pain that made us sick

I'm confessing now I'm crushing on you

Tell me baby are you crushing on me too
