Naked

An armor I wore
The day I met you
That metal, I no longer bore
I was naked

Tender touches undressed
Fleeting glances across the room
I constantly craved your caress

I bared my soul
You dropped my hand
My blood turned to ice
I just couldn't understand

Upside down smile
Painted on my face
The gray room 
Has become a familiar place

That amour I once wore
Has now been replaced
I am no longer naked
I've already forgotten your face

A wall has built
It surrounds my whole being
Making it impossible for any sort of feeling

I am colder now
My eyes glaze frost
Misery and pain
Are all but lost
