The Walls I Build

you broke my heart
without ever knowing
but maybe that’s my fault
for not ever showing
you just how I felt
I can smile and pretend
tell you lies to your eyes
that I’ll still hide in the end
what I wanted
was gone before it even began
should have known better
right from the start
that I would end up
with this broken heart
I see the mistakes
that I have always made
built up this wall
as my own private barricade
to keep everyone out
I should have built a door
to let you in
