I look in your eyes
and feel myself start to fall
your arms wrap around me
and my heart begins to pound
fear clouds my mind
i can't bear the hurt again
so i hold back
i don't let myself feel for you
what i felt for him
for i know that you could kill me
so much worse than he ever did
if i let you
so with my hands on your chest
i push you away
i keep my distance
protecting my heart
protecting what little i have left
but i know deep inside
it's only a matter of time
before you break down my walls
and crawl into my very soul
till i can't breathe without you here
and when that time comes
i'll have a bigger pain to fear
because when i get to that point
losing you would be impossible to bear..
