I have a wall you cannot see

Because it’s deep inside of me

It blocks my heart on every side

And helps emotions there 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 its not you

Continue trying to break through

I want show 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 in grounded

Upon ones heart from years 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 I seem to get nowhere at all

For stone upon each stone ive attacked

And left between them not a crack

The only way

To make it fall is in imperfections in the wall

I did the best I could to build

A perfect 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 of the stack

For just as 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.
