Open

Whenever you open up
You have a chance
Of getting hurt

Having a pain
That doesn't seem
To subside

Having a brain
That thinks
And wanders

Having a guard
That immediately comes up
Protecting you

The truth
And the lies
You don't know
Which one to believe

You want to push away
But once again
You think I deserve this
I let my guard down...
Put down my wall...

It was a chance
You'd been willing to take
But now you wonder
If it's a chance you should regret

Now
You wonder
How to put up the wall
How to block that person out
And at the same time
Not let that person know it

You smile
Through it all
Not letting the world know
You're torn in two of what to do
