I've built walls around my heart, so thick and strong
Scared of the pain, afraid to go wrong
Fear of joy, it's a heavy load to bear
Pushing away love, I don't know how I got here

Chasing shadows, running from the light
Lost in the darkness, day and night
I pushed you away, my dear, my friend
Now I'm alone, and it just won't end

You saw me for who I was, deep inside
Understood my fears, my insecurities I tried to hide
But I ran away, afraid to feel the pain
Now I'm lost, and I can't find my way back again

Chasing shadows, running from the light
Lost in the darkness, day and night
I pushed you away, my dear, my friend
Now I'm alone, and it just won't end

I'm learning to let go, to embrace the fear
To open my heart, and let love be near
I'll find my way back, to the light of day
And maybe one day, you'll stay

Chasing shadows, running from the light
Lost in the darkness, day and night
I pushed you away, my dear, my friend
But I'm trying to change, and it might just mend
