The Wall Between Us
I've already been broken down,
When I did rise, I rose stronger than ever,
Now that pain, again, may never be found
I tucked it 'way in the many levels,...
Decrees of being that you see
Hidden in plain sight by my smile
No, you may never know of struggles I've dealt
'less you've been 'round a while,
Good-natured in his spirit,
[He was] A man of pure virtue,
Like any other he had faults, his flaws,
But I knew of his heart to be true
Not a drop of filtered water
On these plains, could compare
To his pure nature, from what I saw
Yet let us not (try to) hide the fact
That no one is perfect
Like I said, he had his faults
But it seems to me, the unexpected
Did catch me by surprise and off guard
For it seems that even with the purest intent,
Things can all fall apart
But that's all past now, And I've moved on,
In spirit it's unbeknownst,
But if you ever ask me, I'll speak truth
And this is what'll be known
You know I've already been hurt before,
It's true, but not blatantly so,
No longer, I'll remain in the pit that I'd fallen
My heart, he'll never know
