Lyric & Logic - Walls of Steel

Описание: A song written about someone you care about almost dying. They survived, but now you are keeping your distance because you don't want to feel that pain if it were to happen again. It's not healthy, but you're learning how to cope.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Thunder crashed inside my chest when I got the call
The world stopped turning when I heard it all
Now I'm walking through life like I'm lost
And I can't find who we used to be

You reach for me but I just turn away
'Cause I don't know what I'm supposed to say
This distance between us is eating me alive
But doing it again I won't survive

[Chorus 1]
I've built walls of steel around my heart
To keep me safe from falling apart
I know you need me but I'm hiding here
Behind these walls of steel, steel,
steel, steel, steel

I'm pushing you away
keeping us apart
These walls of steel are gonna break your heart

[Verse 2]
I know you wanna know why
But I cried and I cried till my eyes ran dry
The numbness and the rage
They kept coming in waves
And I don't want to re-read the page

I feel the hurt reflected in your words
When I keep it light like a stranger might
But if I let you in
I'm gonna lose you again
And I won't survive the pain

[Chorus 2]
I've built walls of steel around my heart
To keep me safe from falling apart
I know you need me but I'm hiding here
Behind these walls of steel, steel,
steel, steel, steel

I'm pushing you away
keeping us apart
These walls of steel are gonna break your heart

I'm pushing you away

[Bridge]
I've never learned to grieve
I've never learned to heal
So I hide behind
These walls of steel

I'm scared to let you see
The broken parts of me
But I'm dying here
Behind these walls of steel

[Chorus 3]
I've built walls of steel around my heart
To keep me safe from falling apart
I know you need me but I'm hiding here
Behind these walls of steel, steel,
steel, steel, steel

I'm pushing you away
keeping us apart
These walls of steel are gonna break your heart

[Outro]
Maybe if I tear them down
We can start to heal
But right now I'm hiding
Behind these walls of steel
Steel, steel, steel

Maybe if I tear them down
We can start to heal
But right now I'm hiding
Behind these walls of steel
