Building my Walls

[Intro]
Whispers in the quiet sight,
Echoes of my silent fight.
Built these walls to hide the pain,
Hoping someday, I'll find my way again.

(Solo)

[Verse 1]
I watched her grow, I watched her fly,
Lived for her dreams, and held back my cry.
Gave my heart, laid it on the line,
Trust was a gift, now I just feel confined.

[Pre-Chorus]
Three times I gave my all,
Tried to catch the falling, built a life to stand tall.
Now I stand at zero, lonely and hollow,
Searching for a future I can follow.

[Chorus]
Buildin' dreams in the dust and rain,
Gathering scars from the ache and pain.
I just wanna lay my burdens down,
Find some peace where hope is found.

[Bridge]
Walls are rising from the tears I’ve cried,
Hoping this house will hold my pride.
Waiting for the dawn, a new beginning,
Yearning for love, for a fresh inning.


(Solo)

[Outro]
Maybe one day I’ll break free,
From these chains and what used to be.
Build a life that’s truly mine,
Leave behind the pain in time.
