afraid this time

even if you want

you can't touch me now

leave me if you want

you can't hurt me now

build them up

high and strong so you'll never have to hurt too long

put them up

'til they surround and there's no real you left to be found

hold it up

high above no fear of hope or trust or love

close it up

and hold your ground and wait until it's time to finally close it down

even if you want

you can't touch me now

leave me if you want

you can't hurt me now

it isn't easy to admit

i don't think i'm believing it

i'm afraid this time

it's not the same this time

build them up

so you'll never have to hurt too long
