Guard d heart

I let my walls come tumbling down,

Thinking I'd finally found safe ground.

But the ghost of hurt still lingers near,

Leaving shadows of the doubt and fear.

I want to trust, I want to be free,

But a part of me's always on high alert, you see.

I've been bruised and burned, time and again,

So I hold on tight, to keep from feeling the pain.

I yearn for closeness, a love that's true,

But my heart's like a fortress, with a wall built through.

I'm learning to open up, one piece at a time,

But it's a slow journey, this mending of mine.

Chorus:

I'm trying to love, with a guarded heart

Scared to get hurt, torn apart

I want to let go, I want to be free

But the fear of falling holds a tight grip on me.

I see the love in your eyes, I feel it in your touch,

But a part of me hesitates, it's just too much.

I'm learning to trust, one day at a time,

But the road to recovery's a winding climb.

Outro:

So I'll keep on learning, keep on trying to mend,

Until my heart's finally free, and I can truly depend

On love that's worth fighting for, a love that's real and true,

Where I can finally let go, and start anew.
