My Heart Breaks

My heart is shattered into pieces

Like fragile glass that never ceases

Every promise left me bleeding

Every word cut deep with meaning

 

[pre-chorus]

The pain runs deep I can't deny

It's hard to trust or even try

Love can be cruel yet so divine

Now I build walls to save my mind

 

[chorus]

I can't let anyone close again

Afraid the pain will never end

If I open up I'll break within

These walls I build are thick as sin,

 

[verse]

Scars remind me what I've lost

Betrayal taught me love's high cost

Even kindness feels like danger

Trapped inside my heart's own stranger

 

[pre-chorus]

The pain runs deep I can't deny

It's hard to trust or even try

Love can be cruel yet so divine

Now I build walls to save my mind

 

[chorus]

I can't let anyone close again

Afraid the pain will never end

If I open up I'll break within

These walls I build are thick as sin
