Glass Walls

[Verse 1]

I watch you fade in and out of view

One moment here, the next somewhere new

I reach for you, but it's like you're not there

Caught in a maze you don't know how to share.

[Pre-Chorus]

I ask what you're feeling, but

you just turn away

It's like your heart is hiding

somewhere far away.

[Chorus]

There's glass walls around you,

keeping me out

I'm trying to reach you, but I'm filled with doubt

I'm here beside you, but I feel so far

Like I'm touching shadows and not

who you are.

I want to love you, but I don't know how

when every step forward just 

leaves me without.

[Verse 2]

You smile at me like you're giving it all

But there's something missing, like

you're stuck behind a wall

I see strength you don't recognize

And I wonder what it takes to

break through these lines.

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish you'd let me in, show me

what's inside

But I'm just left with questions,

watching you hide.

[Chorus]

There's glass walls around you,

keeping me out

I'm trying to reach you, but I'm filled with doubt

I'm here beside you, but I feel so far

Like I'm touching shadows and not

who you are.

I want to love you, but I don't know how

when every step forward just 

leaves me without.

[Verse 3]

Some nights, I think you're almost there

Like maybe I've finally cracked the layer

But just as quick, you're fading fast

Leaving me with memories that

don't seem to last.

[Verse 4]

You're holding back the pieces I can't find

Locked in a world that you keep confined 

I'm here, I'm waiting, but I'm losing hope

Trying to hold on to someone I barely know.

[Bridge]

What are you feeling? I can't seem

to see.

The thoughts you're holding, the

pieces you keep

I want to know you, but I'm stuck in the cold

Feeling close but still alone.

[Chorus]

There's glass walls around you,

keeping me out

I'm trying to reach you, but I'm filled with doubt

I'm here beside you, but I feel so far

Like I'm touching shadows and not

who you are.

I want to love you, but I don't know how

when every step forward just 

leaves me without.

[Outro]

Here I stand, my hands empty and tired

I wanted you close, but I'm done being mired

In walls I can't break, in words left unsaid

It hurts, but I'll turn and walk on instead

I wanted to stay, but now I know

Some things are better left alone.
