Stone By Stone

I have a wall you can not see
Because its deep inside of me
It blocks my heart on every side
And helps emotions there to hide

You can't reach in, I can't reach out
You wonder what its all about
The wall I built that you can't see
Results from insecurity

Each time my tender heart was hurt
The scars within grew worse

So stone by stone I built a wall
That's now so thick it will not fall
Please understand that it's not you
Continue trying to break through

I want so much to show myself
And love from you will really help
So bit by bit chip at my wall
Till stone by stone it starts to fall

I know the process will be slow
It's never easy to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained
Upon one's heart from years of pain

I'm so afraid to let you in
I know I might get hurt again
I try so hard to break the wall
But seem to get nowhere at all

For stone upon stone I've stacked
And left between not a crack
The only way to make it fall
Is imperfections in the wall

I did my best i could to build
A perfect wall but there are still
A few small flaws which they are the key
To breaking through the wall to me

Please use each flaw to cause a crack
To knock a stone off the stack
For just as stone by stone was laid
With every hurt and every pain

So stone by stone the wall will break
As love replaces every ache
Please be the one who cares enough
To find the flaw, no matter what
