Sheltered Heart
Breaking Walls: Unveiling the Sheltered Heart
Lyrics
I needed protection
I sought protection.
Needed a place to hide
Needed a secure refuge.
I wanted
Desired.
A fortress
Yearned for a stronghold.
So love couldn't get inside
Constructed defenses to prevent love from entering.
And
Continued the narrative.
I made it strong and tall
Constructed it to be robust and towering.
I swore I'd never see it fall
Pledged never to witness its collapse.
And no more at all
No more, under any circumstance.
Could break through this sheltered heart
Nothing could penetrate this fortified heart.
Break through this sheltered heart
Reiteration: Break through the sheltered heart.
Break through this sheltered heart
Repetition for emphasis.
Oh won't you tear down the walls
Request to dismantle the protective barriers.
I've built all around me
Expressing the desire to remove self-imposed barriers.
I wanna learn to win
Expressing a wish to learn how to succeed in love.
I think I could love again
Belief in the possibility of experiencing love again.
Break down these walls
A call to demolish the constructed walls.
Break down this sheltered heart
A plea to break down the protected heart.
Been keeping
Maintained a safe distance.
My distance safe
Ensured safety behind a fortified wall.
Behind this guarded wall
Concealed emotions behind guarded barriers.
Concealing my feelings
Hid feelings from view.
Till I couldn't feel at all
Reached a point where emotions became numb.
And
Continued the narrative.
I closed and locked the door
Shut and secured the entrance.
But maybe I've been waiting for
Suggesting openness to a specific person breaking through.
Someone like you
Hopeful anticipation for someone like the listener.
To break down this sheltered heart
Invitation for someone special to break through.
