Breaking Through

So many times my heart has been broken
I don't think this heart of mine
Could handle another heartache
I've built up these walls
Surrounding my heart
But then one day
You entered my life

And slowly you started chipping away
Slowly you're breaking through
For when I look into your eyes 
I can see into your soul
And I want to love again
I want to let you in
But I'm scared

The day you took my hand
And held me close to you
I felt myself falling
I didn't know what to do
It's been so long
Since I felt this feeling

And slowly you started chipping away
Slowly you're breaking through
For when I look into your eyes
I can see into your soul
And I want to love again
I want to let you in
But I'm scared

Now the walls are crumbling
You've broken through
My heart is healing, girl
And it's all because of you

You've chipped the wall away
You finally broke through
When I look into your eyes
I can see into your soul
And now I'm loving again
I finally let you in
And I'm not scared
Anymore
