Walls

Plays a masked ball
Behind her walls
Where she likes to hide
Her denials
Wear a smile
Locks herself inside
Doesn't fit in
Wears a thick skin
She is different
Than she pretends to be

When will she stop hiding behind her walls
And see that she is beautiful after all
Get up off the ground
Not be kicked around
Escape all the scars and aches
And dare to break down her walls
And dare to break down her walls

Words unspoken
Her core broken
Lost can she be found
Beyond sorrow
There's tomorrow
Will her walls come down
All that she shields
Cannot reveal
Just what she feels
In her world of make believe

When will she stop hiding behind her walls
And see that she is beautiful after all
Get up off the ground
Not be kicked around
Escape all the scars and aches
And dare to break down her walls
Down her walls
Break them down
Break them down
Break down her walls

Caught up in her games
No one knows her name

Doesn't fit in
Wears a thick skin
She is different
Than she pretends to be

When will she stop hiding behind her walls
And see that she is beautiful after all
Get up off the ground
Not be kicked around
Escape all the scars and aches
And dare to break down her walls
Down her walls
Break them down
Break them down
Break down your walls
