I don't deserve the love you give
I built my walls up brick by brick
No windows to let in the light
I know it's safer on the inside

You hurt yourself again

Wish you could see the way you feel to me
And wouldn't be
A slave to your delusions again
You think I'm someone I could never be
I'm sorry that I couldn't pretend
I can't let you in

Afraid to show you who I am
I'm just a bruised and broken man
You tried to mend me once again
But I'm drowning in the deep end

Wish you would take my hand
So I could show you how you feel to me
And wouldn't be
A slave to your delusions again
You think I'm someone I could never be
I'm sorry that I couldn't pretend
I can't let you in

Why can't I let you in?
Don't leave me
I can change
I suffer in silence
Wish you could give me peace
I'm fighting to find a way
To say the words I never did when I had the chance
Maybe it's safer with you

Wish you could see the way you feel to me
And wouldn't be
A slave to your delusions again
You think I'm someone I could never be
I'm sorry that I couldn't pretend
I'll help you see the things you wouldn't see
And believe that you deserve love again
I'm letting go I'm ready to be free
And swim back to the surface again
I'm letting you in
