For years I thought that hiding
Was the safest way to go
So I built a wall around me
Hid my heart to save my soul
Too afraid to show my real self
Scared to be all that was me
I thought if I left myself open
Pain would come eventually
Chorus:
Now I have nothing left
Because you've got it all
No hidden dreams or secret thoughts
You've taken down my wall
I've given everything
I wonder why I'm not afraid
You know, I've never been so vulnerable
But I've never felt so safe
You looked right through my wall
Worked your way into my heart
With simple love and faith and kindness
You just took my wall apart
With you there is no hiding
You know exactly what I feel
My wall is little more than dust
Because with you I know I'm real
Chorus
