Walls Around My Heart

[Verse] I've broken my own heart over a thousand times Pushed love away and kept it apart without warning signs Waking up in the morning, my heart burns and aches Longing for love's sweet touch as I'm mourning a loss that's hard to take [Chorus] My past has torn and scarred me, leaving my heart worn and hardening Still I crave love like a rose with thorns Now I'm weary and scared to give love a try Afraid of the heartache and hurt, afraid to fly [Verse 2] My heart is all worn, fragile, and sore So I push love like it's something foreign out the door Waking up in the morning, feeling so alone My heart clenches and aches like it's made of stone [Chorus] My past has torn and scarred me, leaving my heart worn and hardening Still I crave love like a rose with thorns Now I'm weary and scared to give love a try Afraid of the heartache and hurt, afraid to fly [Verse 3] The fear of hurt now clouds my mind Leaving me lost and hard to find In all the years of pain, I've built a wall around my heart In an attempt to keep love's name and sorrow apart [Chorus] My past has torn and scarred me, leaving my heart worn and hardening Still I crave love like a rose with thorns Now I'm weary and scared to give love a try Afraid of the heartache and hurt, afraid to fly [Bridge] Despite all the pain of my past I won't continue to let it grow and last With arms wide open and my heart aglow I'll let love in and welcome it home So when we meet you'll take my hand, take the leap Into a love that's, bright, pure, and deep Here I am as I stand with open arms Ready to once again take a chance on love's charms
