There's a Wall
Breaking Boundaries: Unveiling the Emotional Barrier in Miranda Lambert's 'There's a Wall'
Lyrics
I'd run away but I can't escape
I desire to escape, but I'm unable to
The power of your pride
Your pride has a strong influence
Your eyes are cold like an empty soul
Your eyes express a lack of warmth, like an empty soul
And I'm burning up inside
I'm emotionally distressed inside
There's nothing wrong with letting go
It's okay to let go, but you resist
And your still digging in
You persist in holding on
We're racing to the bottom
We're heading towards a negative outcome
And I can't find the end
There seems to be no resolution in sight
And there's a wall standing here between us
A metaphorical barrier separates us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
This barrier is preventing your freedom
And I keep pushing harder
I continue to strive harder
And you keep getting stronger
Despite my efforts, you become more resilient
You won't break cause your afraid you'll fall
You fear breaking down, so you don't let go
There's a wall
The metaphorical wall remains
You love me when you want to
Your love is conditional and comes when convenient
And you find reasons to fight
You find reasons to argue
Another lame excuse
Excuses are made to maintain negativity
To keep the devil on your side
Keeping negative influences in your life
Your trying hard to hide those scars
You try to conceal emotional wounds
That I've already seen
I've seen the emotional pain you try to hide
Your beat-up heart's not the only thing
Your damaged heart is not the sole obstacle
That's keeping you from me
There are other things keeping us apart
And there's a wall standing here between us
The metaphorical wall is still present
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
This barrier is hindering your freedom
And I keep pushing harder
I persist in my efforts
And you keep getting stronger
Despite this, you become stronger
You won't break cause your afraid you'll fall
You fear breaking down, so you hold on
There's a wall
The metaphorical wall persists
Pain has made you weak and hard
Pain has made you both vulnerable and resilient
I will never be as strong...as strong
I acknowledge I won't be as strong as you
And there's a wall standing here between us
The metaphorical wall remains
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
This barrier is still preventing your freedom
And I keep pushing harder
I persist in pushing against it
And you keep getting stronger
Despite my efforts, you continue to strengthen
You won't break cause your afraid you'll fall
You fear breaking down, so you hold on
There's a wall
The metaphorical wall remains
