I’ll smile at you with my eyes closed
Don’t let you see my heart
I’ll only talk to you on the phone
Don’t let you see my soul
I’ll walk away from you before you ever get close
Don’t let me hurt you too
‘Such a pretty smile’ you say
Can’t let you in my heart
‘I’ll share my everything with you,’ you beg
Can’t let you in my soul
‘Please, you don’t have to go,’ you cry
Can’t let myself hurt you too
You’re angry at me once more
Won’t let you see my heart
You’re not able to see past my wall
Won’t let you in my soul
You’re not the one to ever understand me
Won’t hurt you too

Indeed.
I can relate to this extremely well. It is one of the best ive seen so far, a O.K flow, not the best, but relatively good. Final verdict: Move to the finals.
