MY CASTLE...

My walls were built high...
Surrounding my heart from feeling...
Never have they stood in your way...
Never an obstacle for you...
You needn't even break them down...
When you'd look at me they would melt...
Become non-existent...

Turbulence has set our boat wandering...
Not sure which way to turn...
Pain of uncertainty way to real...
You say things I wonder if you mean them...
Causing waves to crash around me...
Agony of my split soul...
So far away is my boat from me...

The walls of my castle...
Built high for my protection...
Failed me with you...
The other half of my soul...
Drifting away on my boat...
So I build my walls higher...
Never again to feel the pain...
