Walls around my heart

Intro (whispered, ambient, over piano/pads)

“I can’t do this again…”
“Not another lie…”
“Ten months behind walls…”
“And I let you inside…”

Verse 1

I thought I could trust, I thought I could stay,
But every morning I watch you drift away.
You say you’re at work, but the silence speaks,
And the doubt cuts through me, week after week.

I don’t have riches, I don’t wear gold,
But my love is honest, my heart is bold.
I’m tired of guessing, I’m tired of games,
I just want someone who’ll call my name.


---

Pre-Chorus

I can’t chase shadows, I can’t pretend,
That this won’t break me in the end.
I need a light that won’t burn out,
Not whispers fading into doubt.


---

Chorus (big, emotional)

Tear down the walls around my heart,
Don’t let the lies pull us apart.
I’ve given you all the love I’ve got,
Is it enough, or is it not?

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need fame,
I just need someone who stays the same.
But every silence, every night,
Feels like I’m losing this fight.

Whispers underneath:
“Don’t go… don’t go…”
“Stay with me…”
“I’m breaking…”


---

Verse 2

I watch the city through broken glass,
The hours are heavy, the nights don’t pass.
I told you once, I can’t be a fool,
But love has a way of bending the rules.

I see your picture, I hear your voice,
But loving me has to be your choice.
I can’t compete with a world of men,
If money decides how this story ends.


---

Pre-Chorus (repeat, stronger)

I can’t chase shadows, I can’t pretend,
That this won’t break me in the end.
If love is real, then prove me wrong,
I’ve been waiting far too long.


---

Chorus (repeat, bigger)

Tear down the walls around my heart,
Don’t let the lies pull us apart.
I’ve given you all the love I’ve got,
Is it enough, or is it not?

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need fame,
I just need someone who stays the same.
But every silence, every night,
Feels like I’m losing this fight.

Whispers underneath:
“Don’t lie… don’t hide…”
“Tell me the truth…”
“I’m still here…”


---

Bridge (spoken + whispers)

Spoken (main voice):
“I said I understand…
But every morning I sit here…
wondering where you are,
and who you’re with…
and the silence answers for me.”

Whispers:
“It’s true… it’s true…”
“I know… I know…”
“It’s killing me…”


---

Final Chorus (emotional peak)

Tear down the walls around my heart,
Don’t let the lies pull us apart.
I gave you my soul, I gave you my trust,
But maybe for us… love’s not enough.

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need fame,
I just need someone who stays the same.
If you can’t give me what I need,
Then let me go, and let me bleed.


---

Outro (only whispers fading)

“Don’t hurt me…”
“Please don’t hurt me…”
“…love’s not enough.”

A sad piano-driven ballad sung by a male voice, with whispered intros, slow atmospheric build, soaring chorus, and haunt
