Fenced Heart

You said I expected too much,

That my love, it feels like you can’t touch it anymore.

August 7th, the day the sky turned gray,

You left me with no choice but to stay away.

Here in California, counting the days of this outbreak,

Physical pain and heartache,

a burden I have to bear.

I miss your voice,

a contradiction in my head,

But you're blocked out—it's better not to hear your hurtful words instead.

I want to call you,

to hear the ghost of us,

But I know it's just poison,

a broken kind of trust.

I'm building my fortress,

fenced in my heart,

So I won't get lost and be

completely disappointed again. (ahhhh) Don't expect,

we're not We're not what I thought we'd be

Don't expect, we're not You're not the peace for me

Don't expect, we're not A hollow space you can't fill Don't expect,

we're not

No, we’re not (ooh)

The pain of being alone,

especially the pain of singers,

Every nerve ending reminds me how the pain mingles.

But I’m a cabalen,

with a Mamba mentality in my blood,

I won’t give up on the current,

even though my heart is a little tired.

You said you asked for more than you could give,

But I’m just looking for a real way to survive.

Now I’m choosing the quiet,

the Tuesday peace, Waiting for the day this internal war will finally

cease.

I want to call you,

to hear the ghost of us,

But I know it's just poison,

a broken kind of trust.

I'm building my fortress,

I’ve fenced in my heart,

So that I won’t be lost again and be completely disappointed. (ahhhh)

Don't expect, we're not We're not what I thought we'd be

Don't expect, we're not You're not the peace for me

Don't expect, we're not A hollow space you can't fill

Don't expect, we're not

No, we’re not (oh-oh)

It's not your fault to love too much,

But it's also wrong to lose yourself.

It's not a sin

to give your all,

But it's wrong to let yourself be consumed.

I am my own beginning,

I am my own end,

I don't need a love that I have to constantly defend.

Don't expect, we're not

We are not destiny

Don't expect, we're not You're not the peace for me

Don't expect, we're not Just a hollow space you can't fill Don't

expect, we're not

No, we are not (yeah)

One day, someone will come and choose you.

Someone who won't say you're too much to hold.

Rest now, my heart,

let the fire and sky unfold. (ahhhh)
