[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…
