{And you wonder ...wonder why I continually maintain my distance}
If only I could let down these protruding barriers that have arose
I'd be able to tell you that I love you more than you'll ever know
But it seems every time I get close to someone life gets in the way
And everything comes crashing down, splintering into pieces around me
See, I have a tendency to push away those closest to me
I'm not really sure why, maybe it's to stop myself getting hurt
For I've been hurt to many times in the past, can't take anymore
So I seclude myself in a bubble, and I'm afraid it might pop
Sometimes I yearn for the bubble to disappear but I'm safe this way
Living in here is the only way that I know how to truly survive
Because in here I'm protected from betrayal, pain and loss
And if I stay in here, I can't accidentally hurt anyone either
{I'm contaminated, if I don't allow you near, you're safe from infection}
