We build up walls to guard our hearts
Because we're afraid it will be torn apart
We are afraid to love,
but are quick to judge 

Once we let someone within our walls
The tiniest breach of trust
Causes us to kick them out
We doubt ourselves 
Doubt our judgement
We wonder why we ever let them in
Then we wonder why we ever let them out

But, yet we still have an irresistible desire 
To be irresistibly desired
We need love 
But we're afraid to let someone love us
Because we don't want to be broken again 

We wear masks 
To keep people from asking questions 
Questions we're not ready to answer
Because we have no answer 

We want love
But are unwilling to tear down that wall
So the love we seek
Never comes at all
Then we start the blaming game.
Never realizing we're the ones to blame
