Building Walls
We build these walls for our protection
Then stack them high in all directions
So ridged do we make these stacks
To save our heart when love attacks
And when we slip and go stray
A twinkling eye takes bricks away
At first her softness and her smile
Break down your defenses for a while
Then comes a date, a good night kiss
A thousand bricks you'll never miss
Her soul gets in, she steals your heart
She then eats away at her favorite part
Your life will change, she's in now
You could live without her, but then how
Now there is no strategic plan
You just dream of holding her hand
The new program has just begun
Lucky you, you've found the one
Walls come down with no regret
She is your love, there is no threat
And just when things were going good
She says things aren't as they should
A soul is hurt, harsh words are spoke
You feel that love was just a joke
She's left you now there is no doubt
You should have kept the walls - don't pout
The walls are up and now your fine
Love's too hard to keep in mind
So stay behind your sturdy wall
Now no one can blame you if you fall
