Preferred Band/Artist: BlackByrd
Verse 1:
I watch you turn your back on me
As you walk off into the cold of the night
I thought of the words we said and how we started this fight
And now I cannot help but wonder
If this is the end of us, I wonder what will be
Pre-chorus:
And my memories take me back on the roads we took
And the 100 times I brought you back
And I know
Those with the most gentle of souls
Tend to build the highest of walls
Don’t try and break it
’Cause I don’t know how to fake what I feel
Chorus:
So, as long as you are not here to catch me
As long as you are not here at all
Let me keep my walls that I can lean on
When my world tumbles
And my feet stumble
’Cause I have no direction at all.
Verse 2:
I watch you let me slip through your fingers
Time and time again
Each time I hear your promise of it will never happen again
And in those moments I want to move on
But somehow my heart still lingers
Pre-chorus:
It’s the ones with the most gentle of souls
That tends to build the highest of walls
Don’t ask me to drop my defences
’Cause I just cannot take another fall
Verse 3:
And I watch you in the distance
With the space that time has put between us
I try calling your name but nothing is the same
Since I caged my heart with iron fists of resistance
Chorus:
And as long as you are not here to catch me
As long as you are not here at all
You have to let me keep my walls
That I can lean onto
When my world tumbles
And my feet stumble
For without you I have no direction at all
