Fading Closer

(hmmmmm) God, why do I feel this way

Every time someone gets too close I start to run away

I build these walls so high

Just to keep the outside from looking in my eyes

I don't want to get hurt anymore

Standing frozen at the open door

Because I am just dying inside all the time

Trying to protect what is left of mine Why do I

push away the ones I hold dear?

When all I really want is to have you

near (ahhhh)

Maybe the isolation is a shield

To hide the broken parts that never healed

I pull away

before they can leave

But it's my own chest that struggles to breathe

I'm just dying inside... (hummmm)
