I built 'em up high, stacked brick after brick

Told myself I was safe, now I'm stuck in cement

Every step that I take just circles me back

Every door that I close leaves a hole in the past

Tried to lock out the pain, but it slipped through the cracks

Kept the world on the outside, I never looked back

Now I'm tracing my fears like lines in the dust

But walls don't protect when they turn into rust

But now the light is breaking through

I don't know where I'm going, but I can't stay here too

Tired of running, but my legs won't move

If these walls could talk, would they tell me truth

I've been locked in this place too long

Wrote my name on the walls just to feel like I belong

But maybe they were not meant to stay

Maybe all this time, they were meant to break

So I'll tear 'em down, I'll let the pieces fall

I'll learn to trust, I'll learn to stand tall

'Cause maybe these walls don't keep me safe

Maybe these walls just keep me afraid

Every scar on these hands, every lesson I learned

Built a house out of fear, but the fear just burned

Now I see the world standing right outside

Won't let the past be the place I hide

Fists on the walls 'til my knuckles bleed

Sick of the voices that won't let me leave

I won't be a ghost in a town I built

Suffocating on the pain that I've felt

But the cracks are growing, I can feel the shift

No more waiting I was made for this

If these walls fall down, let 'em break

Rather face the world than fade away

I've been locked in this place too long

Wrote my name on the walls just to feel like I belong

But maybe they were not meant to stay

Maybe all this time, they were meant to break

So I'll tear 'em down, I'll let the pieces fall

I'll learn to trust, I'll learn to stand tall

'Cause maybe these walls don't keep me safe

Maybe these walls just keep me afraid

Spent so long trying to keep myself safe

Now I'm standing in the mess that I made

Did I build this keep the pain away

Or was I just too afraid to change

But if these walls were meant to fall

Then I can't stay here anymore

If I break, then let me break for good

I won't be afraid, misunderstood

I've been locked in this place too long

Wrote my name on the walls just to prove I was strong

But maybe they were not meant to stay

Maybe all this time, they were meant to break

So I'll tear 'em down, I'll let the pieces fall

I'll learn to trust, I'll learn to stand tall

I won't be afraid

I won't be afraid
