Lyrics
**Intro:**
In the shadow of our broken dreams, a girl and a boy once stood
He poured his heart into her, but she couldn't see the good
**Verse 1:**
She was lost in the wreckage of love's cruel disguise
Too broken to believe that anyone could heal her cries
Did you ever notice the love I held inside?
Or was it too much pain for you to abide?
**Chorus:**
What could have made you love me?
With your heart barricaded, emotions locked away
I tried to break through, but I couldn't sway, oh, my love
You can't love unless you open, you can't love unless you let yourself feel
**Verse 2:**
I painted smiles on my face, but you never saw the tears
I whispered my love in silence, drowning in my fears
I sensed your fear of the love we could share
Afraid to lose what we had, you chose to despair
**Chorus:**
What could have made you love me?
With your heart barricaded, emotions locked away
I tried to break through, but I couldn't sway, oh, my love (my love)
You can't love unless you open, you can't love unless you let yourself feel
**Verse 3:**
Did you know you were my light in the dark?
Did you know your indifference tore me apart?
Now I see a part of me is lost, a piece you took away
I'm left here with memories, haunting every day
**Chorus:**
What could have made you love me? (in love)
With your heart barricaded, emotions locked away
You didn't have to be scared at all (didn't have to be scared)
Oh, my love
But you can't love unless you open, you can't love unless you let yourself feel
**Outro:**
I would have caught you if you fell, I would have held you close
I would have been there, but now it's all morose
If only you had spread your wings and soared with me
But you couldn't fly, and now I'm left in solitary plea
