Walls

There's a wall around her heart
That's growing taller every day,
And once she starts to let it down
Everybody walks away.
Nobody ever sees her,
Nobody really cares.
The ones she love around her
See what they want to think is there.

She’s breaking down,
And she may have finally reached the ground.

Can't really get much lower,
But no one's there to help her up.
A silhouette of hope
Holds her hand, but then gives up.
So she closes her eyes and sheds her skin,
And she slips into her mask.
She becomes the girl they want to see
Keeping all her true thoughts back.
And now they're reaching out to her;
Everything is right again.
A happy face is a happy place
Since they can't see the pain within.
She’s exactly who they want her to be,
A fake, a fraud, a liar,
As this wall around her heart
Builds itself up higher and higher.
