If I could change one thing...

If I could change one thing, I’d change the way you feel.
I’d take away your pain.
I’d take away your tears.
Looking in your eyes I know you have changed.
I try to get to you but you’ve lost your way.
I try to open the door but the lock is secured.
I try to tell you everything will be okay,
Don’t fall stay strong, one day it will all just go away.
But I’ve been telling you this for years and now you don’t believe it’s true.
That one day that door will open
And there will be a new you.

I try to pick the lock, but you covered it with bricks.
Glued them all together, there’s no way I’m getting through this.
The wall you built around the door is the one straight to your heart.
Now each day you try to not cry for the pain is building inside.

If I could change the way you feel, I’d break right through that wall.
Hold you and make you feel safe,
Knowing this is where you really belong.

Looking in your eyes now I know you want to change,
Because looking in the mirror I realized I’m the one to blame.
I’m the one who built that wall; I’m the one who cried.
I’m the one, who can’t get out, no matter how much I try.

Now I have to find out how to live this life.
How do I tear down a wall that’s been there my whole life?
