Behind the see-through shields
The guards and the locked gates
Every defense mechanism I know
To protect myself from your hate
There is a girl you will never know
And who you will never break
There’s a stone wall built around
This fragile, see through heart
The cracks and stains remind me
How love can leave a scar
There are things about me you will never know
That you would use to tear me apart
Every time you see me
You’ll hope and pray I’ll fall
Wait to see a tear drop escape
Push me so I’ll crawl
But my pride keeps me alive
And I’m safe behind this wall
I am more than you’re bitch
More than the girl you try to tear down
I was not born to be your enemy
I was not sent here to wear your thorn-filled crown
And after the war is over
Don’t you know, I’m still going to be around
I dare you to look at me as though you never have
As though you haven’t heard my name
See through the defense that keeps me whole
See how we can bleed the same
No matter how bad it hurts
I will never let any of you see me in pain
If I had it my way, you’d all disappear
Fade completely out of my sight
If I had it my way, I wouldn’t have to wear this armor
There would be no one left to fight
If I had it my way, I wouldn’t have to fear
Trusting the wrong person in my life
This is the way things are
This is the hand I’ve been dealt
I’ll play my role and you play yours
I’m fine with blocking out everyone else
I’d rather live sure that no one like you can hurt me
I’d rather be by myself
You know who you are...
