These Walls Between Us

It's not like tomorrow is unlike today From what you said, from what you will say With my mouth parted, the tears still escape And your reach is far too shallow to make me stay The force of your words surrounds me like a weight And on my chest it bares so heavy, honestly With guilt written clear across your face You can't simply brush the words away It's said, the only way to truly know someone is To give yourself over completely, honestly Without that, you simply cannot connect on the most basic level These walls you built to keep you safe But all they did was push me away I stood by you, decided to wait I hope that time would tell Tell me the words That I needed to say to you Your words lose meaning here, lost inside your head Like the light that casts the shadows that creep across your bed You've never held me in your heart, that I am sure So I leave you now, not looking back at what you were This leaves you vulnerable, to be abused Either intentional or not Once the trust is broken, it can be impossible to overcome Or to give yourself over to another These walls you built to keep you safe I'm worth more than this But all they did was push me away What more can you say I stood by you, decided to wait I hope that time would tell Tell me the words That I needed to say to you
