Guard Up

Kept life at arm's length again Because you're scared of consequence The walls you've built around yourself Break as you start to interact When you Take that step And show something of yourself I can relate You're scared to step up to the plate Now face the fact that life's not safe Define yourself with risks that you take We grow from what we choose to face As the product of the constant change You're still standing And yes, I know Life wasn't easy but it's not Not Set in stone I know you're shaped by all the broken hearts You tried to leave behind and not let them affect your life The past should not define, the way you see this world But if you let it in that is your own choice You can drop it, let it go If you choose to stay in solitude You'll never fucking know that there is More to people than you know
