Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro, Soft piano, Fingerpicked acoustic guitar] Mmm… Ohhh… [Verse 1] I built these walls, too high to climb Every stone is a memory of darker times Shadows whisper when I close my eyes And the silence feels louder than the night [Pre-Chorus] Every smile I fake, every word I hide Keeps the pain locked up, buried deep inside [Chorus, Emotional swell] I’m scared to let you in, scared to be undone The past still burns like a loaded gun Every scar I carry tells me not to try So I push away love, though I’m dying inside I’m afraid… to let you see me cry [Verse 2] I wear my fear like a heavy coat The weight of trauma pulling at my throat Trust feels fragile, like glass in the rain One wrong touch and it all breaks again [Pre-Chorus] I keep my secrets safe, where no one can find But the loneliness is eating me alive [Chorus, Powerful vocals with echo harmonies] I’m scared to let you in, scared to be undone The past still burns like a loaded gun Every scar I carry tells me not to try So I push away love, though I’m dying inside I’m afraid… to let you see me cry [Bridge, Soft piano, whispered vocals] What if you leave, like the rest did before? What if my heart can’t take anymore? What if I’m broken, too broken to heal? Would you still stay, would you still feel? [Chorus, Gospel choir echoes in the background] I’m scared to let you in, scared to be undone The past still burns like a loaded gun Every scar I carry tells me not to try So I push away love, though I’m dying inside I’m afraid… to let you see me cry [Outro, Fading acoustic guitar, soft hums] Mmm… I’m afraid… To let you see… me cry…
