Sometimes I see the light inside
It's brightened many times
I thought that life gets easy
But the stars don't fade that way

You're reaching out for the way
Is there something I can't reach?
That was done as metaphorical
And it's hard to let you in

I can't let you in
Though I want to try
To refrain from the tears I've yet to cry
I'll build these walls
They keep me safe
Even though your love
Is right in my face
Don't take it wrong
It's just how I've been
I've lost too much I can't let you in

The world goes outside I already know
But my path doesn't seem to let me grow
Each time I get close I fade away
To the ghost of who I want to stay

You're breaking through, but not enough
I wish love didn't have to be so tough
To be so tough

I can't let you in
Though I wish I could I'd take a chance
If I thought I should
I'll build these walls
They're wearing thin
Maybe you're the one
Who breaks them in
But until then I staywithin
Because right now I can't let you in

Maybe one day I'll open the door
And the fear doesn't weigh me down anymore
But tonight I'm still locked in tight
Hiding from love, but dying to feel alive

I can't let you in
Though I wish I could I'd take a chance
If I thought I should
I'll build these walls
They're wearing thin
Maybe you're the one
Who breaks them in
But until then I stay within
Because right now I can't let you in
