Letting someone past the walls around your heart…

I saw your soul today, and it looked just like mine

Our souls are now a fragment of what they left behind

 

I recognize the side effects, and I can feel your pain

Broken-hearted fools, that the world cannot obtain

 

Loneliness and a friend to hold have brought us here and now

The fortress that we built around our souls might just come down

 

The broken-hearted pair gaining redemption from their sins

Look at me now, and I might just let you in

 

How does this happen, how can this be

Their destructive path through a life, has brought you here to me

 

Even though fear now rules our every step

In your pocket now my heart could be kept

 

Through a kiss a new world can be found

And their grasp is losing the strength to bound

 

Confusion has a hold right now but that won’t last too long

We are learning through each other all the things we did wrong

 

I see life in your eyes, and darkness starts to pass

Hold on tighter, my heart no longer feels like tainted glass

 

We could flip a coin and take a chance at what this might be

Cross the bridge and join the brighter side with me

 

Shatter their hold and dismiss the pain

Their heartache caused may not compare to this gain

 

Your arms tell me they won’t always own our lives

Come closer and see the fortress tumble in my eyes
