Barricade

Yay

For one split second before I wake

As I open my eyes

There's a sweet, soft silence I dare not break

For fear of what lies behind

I'm in, but I know damn well

That I'm not over you

And when it all comes floodin' back to me

There's nothing I can do

So I, I put up a barricade

High enough to keep me safe from harm

So I can still be someone

I put up a barricade

Till every little trace of you is gone

Will I ever move on?

One split second is all it takes

To shatter a heart

And serve a lifetime forever in defense

When the battle is hard

You know I tried to fight fire with fire

But the pain is much too real

And when it all comes floodin' back to me

And there's nothing else I can feel

I put up a barricade

High enough to keep me safe from harm

So I can still be someone

I put up a barricade

Till every little trace of you is gone

Maybe they're right that time's a healer

And maybe there might be a better way

But while I wait

I put up a barricade

High enough to keep me safe from harm

I put up a barricade

Till every little trace of you is gone

Yeah, yeah

I put up a barricade

High enough to keep me safe from harm

So I can still be someone

I put up a barricade

Till every little trace of you is gone

Will I ever move on?

Move on
