[Verse] I built a wall of glass so high To keep the world out keep me dry The cracks they show but I don’t care It’s safer here than feeling bare [Chorus] They come they go they always leave It’s easier to just not believe In the hands that knock and plead to stay Why open up when they’ll walk away [Verse 2] Each smile’s a knife I cannot hold Each touch too warm it turns to cold I’ve given all I had before Now empty rooms are what I adore [Chorus] They come they go they always leave It’s easier to just not believe In the hands that knock and plead to stay Why open up when they’ll walk away [Bridge] A fleeting face a fleeting name Each goodbye whispers I’m to blame I’d rather stay behind this screen Than lose myself to what could’ve been [Verse 3] This fortress isn’t made of stone But fears I’ve gathered on my own Each pane a story I can’t mend A fragile start that meets its end
