Walls Came Down (Male Vocal Version)

WHEN YOU'RE NEAR [Verse 1] Came from a broken home Never trusting anyone near Built my walls so high and strong To keep away the fear Spent my life behind those stones Looking through the cracks alone Swore nobody'd ever find The fragile heart inside [Chorus] The walls all fall away When you come near Somehow they disappear Whenever you're here Every defense I made Just fades away I never thought I'd feel this way But the walls all fall away [Verse 2] Spent my life building walls Kept everyone outside Protecting my fragile heart Right from the start of time Then you came and punched a hole Right through the armor of my soul A little kindness every day Carried those bricks away [Chorus] The walls all fall away When you come near Somehow they disappear Whenever you're here Every defense I made Just fades away I never thought I'd feel this way But the walls all fall away [Bridge] I tried to fight you off Tried not to let you in You took your chisel to my mortar And chipped away again One small crack became a door Then I wasn't hiding anymore Now you see right through to me And somehow I am free [Final Chorus] The walls all fall away When you come near Somehow they disappear Whenever you're here No more shadows left to hide No more lonely place inside You turned this fortress into home Now I never stand alone [Outro] Came from a broken home Never trusting anyone near Now every wall I've ever known Melts away when you're near...
