I have a wall you cannot see
because it's deep inside of me.
it blocks my heart on every side
and it helps emotions there are to hide.
you can't reach in,
I can't reach out,
you wonder what it's all about.

The wall I built that you can't see
results from insecurity.
each time my tender heart was hurt
the scars within grew worse and worse.
so stone by stone
I built a wall
that's now so thick it will not fall.

Please understand that it's not you,
continue trying to break through.
I want so much to show myself,
and love from you will really help.
so bit by bit
chip at my wall,
til stone by stone it starts to fall.

I know the process will be slow,
it's never easy to let go
of hurts and failures long ingrained
upon one's heart of pain.
I'm so afraid
to let you in
I know I might get hurt again

I try so hard to break the wall
but seem to get no where at all
for stone upon stone I've stacked
and left between them not a crack
the only way to make it fall
are imperfections in the wall

I did the best I could to build
a pefect wall but there are still
a few small flaws, which are the key
to breaking through the wall, to me
please use each flaw
to cause a crack
to knock a stone off the stack

for just ast stone by stone was laid
with every hurt and every pain
so stone by stone the wall will break
as love replaces every ache
please be the one
who cares enough
to find the flaws, no matter what!
