I built these rules like a wall around my skin Every promise felt too dangerous to let in Past scars taught me lessons, taught me to hide But you saw the wounds I couldn’t disguise You didn’t run from the weight I carry You stayed, even when my load felt heavy And though I never say those words out loud You feel my heart beat, you look at me proud I’m afraid of love repeating history But you’re rewriting what love means to me You're breaking down my walls, brick by brick With patience and faith, we take that risk I see your love in the way you stay I never want to push you away I wan’t to say three words, just not now But I feel them rising somehow You’re proving love is more than just talk Through life's journey, together we'll walk I set these rules to keep myself safe But they turned my heart into a shielded place You don’t demand, you don’t force me through You just show me love in all you do Every effort, every gentle sign Makes me believe this love could be mine And though my lips still hold back the truth My soul is already reaching out to you It’s not the grand gestures, it’s the quiet fight The way you stay steady through the endless night Commitment written in the way you wait Teaching me love can heal, not break The walls I built are crumbling in the light Your unconditional loves worn them down tonight I never thought I’d let someone this near But with you, I’m learning to lose the fear I see the truth in the way you stay I trust your heart more every day And though the words still linger, unsaid I followed my heart and to you it led You're breaking down my walls, brick by brick With patience and faith, we take that risk I see your love in the way you stay I never want to push you away I wan’t to say three words, just not now But I feel them rising somehow You’re proving love is more than just talk Through life's journey, together we'll walk
