Shattered heart, so torn apart

Closed up in gates of steel

Emotions denied from the start

Numbness I thought no one could heal



Shutting out the world

From everyone who cared

But inside, a broken girl

Distraught without repair



Put up walls and shut the doors

And no one would barge through

Never met someone before

Quite as determined as you



My heart was not prepared

To get its walls torn down

It was caught so unaware

Had no place to turn around



But you don’t let me fall

No matter how far back I lean

You’ve busted down a wall

Unafraid of what you’ve seen



My heart has now awakened

And is frightened beyond compare

These emotions that you’ve shaken

Prove there’s something there



So comfortable being numb

For all of this time

And I just want to run

But then what would I find?



Would I find someone

That loves me like you do?

Would I still be numb

Or find out I loved you, too?



Since you’ve torn my walls

I don’t have those to lean on

So you have to catch me if I fall

Or else I’ll have to run



But for now I’ll just stay still

And just let you hold me close

Help me learn how to feel

So my heart’s no longer comatose
