I built a wall of insecurity.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

I built to protect,

protect the things you cannot see.

Hide the things I even keep from myself

And most of all hide you from me.

I want you blind.

I keep a mean look on my face to keep them away.

Stay away, dont get too close.

I fear you breaking the one thing I need the most,

My heart.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

If you get in I'll push you out.

Push, kick, scream, and cry you out,

never to let back in.

I might smile once.

But, twice is too much.

Cause I know you can make me happy.

But, its when you make me regret thats hurts me at your best.

I wont look you in the eye,

just pass you by.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

I walk alone.

I walk nowhere it seems.

But, I run from you.

Play hide 'n' seek,

I hide and hope you never seek whats inside.

You compliment my phsyical appearence

And thats all I will let you see.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

You see my face, you know my fears, press my buttons to play your game.

I tell you nothing.

So, you will know nothing.

You cant feel my pain,

Or see it in my face.

I speak my words quietly and politely.

I say nice things in spite of my anger.

Strangers stay strangers.

No trust for friends.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

Life of loniness.

Eyes full of sorrow.

I have no words to spare.

I have no love to borrow.

I emptied my heart and dried my eyes.

I become numb.

I stay unkown.

No emotions to nurture my soul.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

I am alone.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

I refuse to let you in cause I'm fearing the worst.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

I built to protect,

protect the things you cannot see.

I built a wall of insecurity,

Or did insecurity build me?

If you happen to get in protect me, too.

Don't add to the hurt or play foolish games.

Just help me take down the wall of insecurity I built with pain.
