Verse 1: I’ve built these walls so high, they touch the sky, Each brick a fear, a reason why I hide. I wear a mask to keep the world at bay, But inside I’m breaking, can’t you hear me say? Chorus: I’m scared of ending up alone, In this fortress I’ve overgrown. What’s real or fake, I can’t define, I’m lost inside these walls of mine. I reach for hands that aren’t there to hold, Caught between the young and the old, In this lonely heart, the echo’s cold, I’m yearning for a story to be told. Verse 2: I paint a smile, a picture for the show, But behind these eyes, there’s more than they’ll ever know. My heart is aching for a place to belong, But every time I reach, I only find the wrong. Chorus: I’m scared of ending up alone, In this fortress I’ve overgrown. What’s real or fake, I can’t define, I’m lost inside these walls of mine. I reach for hands that aren’t there to hold, Caught between the young and the old, In this lonely heart, the echo’s cold, I’m yearning for a story to be told. Verse 3: If I could tear these walls down brick by brick, Would someone stay or would they just up and slip? I long to find a love that’s truly me, But I’m trapped inside this fake reality. Chorus: I’m scared of ending up alone, In this fortress I’ve overgrown. What’s real or fake, I can’t define, I’m lost inside these walls of mine. I reach for hands that aren’t there to hold, Caught between the young and the old, In this lonely heart, the echo’s cold, I’m yearning for a story to be told. Outro: Will I ever find a way to break through? Or will these fears keep holding me, too? I’m searching for a heart that understands, To love the me behind these trembling hands.
