Walls are down

Something is happening inside of me,
A stranger sense of weakness,
I never thought that you would have the strength,
A way for you to breach this.
I spend my life just putting bricks on bricks,
To make my fortress stronger,
But as your heart is beating next to mine,
I fear the walls won't hold much longer.

And I don't like the way it's turning out,
The way you see inside me,
Visible soft spots that I'm sore about,
I wish could perish with me.
But I don't seem to shake you up at all,
You just go deeper in,
And as these walls are falling down around me,
How do I begin?

How can I tell you that I'm scared of you,
Because you haven't left yet,
You turned a stone into a beating heart,
That hasn't learned to love yet.
You see the bits and pieces that I am,
Shattered way beyond a vast repair,
Then put inside a little box of steal,
That I thought you would never throw a care.

And now these walls are falling down around me,
How do I live if I'm already dead?
How can you promise that I'm safe with you,
How can you tell me that you're not a threat.
I used to think that I would never break,
The lessons learned just made my reasons stronger,
But as your heart is beating next to mine,
I fear these walls won't hold me any longer.
