• I build these walls
    not completely for myself
    but to save you

    I distance myself
    because it makes things easier
    it makes the walls go up faster

    I want to build my own Fort Knox
    to keep you out
    just so i don't have to cry

    the emotions drain from me
    like a child's bottle
    slowly,
    ever so slowly,
    but out to the very last drop

    I don't do this just for myself
    i do this so the world is fair in my eyes
    for you

    hearts will be broken
    worlds will be shattered
    love will be lost

    but like everyone says
    there's a thousand fish in the sea
    I'll just have to be your one that got away
