Beautiful - These Walls Between Us Lyrics

It's not like tomorrow is unlike today
From what you said, from what you will say
With my mouth parted, the tears still escape
And your reach is far too shallow to make me stay
The force of your words surrounds me like a weight
And on my chest it bares so heavy, honestly
With guilt written clear across your face
You can't simply brush the words away

It's said, the only way to truly know someone is
To give yourself over completely, honestly
Without that, you simply cannot connect on the most basic level

These walls you built to keep you safe
But all they did was push me away
I stood by you, decided to wait
I hope that time would tell
Tell me the words
That I needed to say to you

Your words lose meaning here, lost inside your head
Like the light that casts the shadows that creep across your bed
You've never held me in your heart, that I am sure
So I leave you now, not looking back at what you were

This leaves you vulnerable, to be abused
Either intentional or not
Once the trust is broken, it can be impossible to overcome
Or to give yourself over to another

These walls you built to keep you safe
I'm worth more than this
But all they did was push me away
What more can you say
I stood by you, decided to wait
I hope that time would tell
Tell me the words
That I needed to say to you
