Behind This Wall

I watched the foundation burn
And still I stayed
I watched the torch you held
Flicker and fade
Betrayed by myself for holding on so tight but
Now sadness sickens my heart and
Confusion, it blinds this sight
Alone I feel so alone
Maybe I’ll turn this feeling into a wall of stone
And I’ll build it big and strong
And I’ll build it around my heart
Let no one but you tear it apart
So here’s your invitation
And I hope you will accept
Please, remember the days out in the sun
And the promises kept
I’m writing these words from behind this wall
