i would have let myself feel more
would have leapt
at the chance to give my heart
if only i had met you
not so long ago
i'd be free to give you me
but now i'm trapped inside
the walls around my heart
too hurt and too scared
so i push my love aside
if i only had the faith
to let my heart be healed
after the damage he had done
i would be able to give
me to you
but instead i run
putting walls, bars and locks
between my heart and you
so you don't even know
that i've felt anything at all
so i'll push it all aside
be the friend you need me to be
and try to ignore the longing for
the chance to spread my wings
and fly
ignore my longing to
give me to you
