lyrics

I still feel unsure of myself, second guessing every decision
I tried to bury my past just to forget, but the spade keeps blocking my vision
Today you removed a stone in the wall that I built
To keep me from hurting myself or anyone else
I’ll admit that I’m scared, but I don’t want to run so I’ll stay here as long as you want
I want so badly to know you more, but I’m afraid you won’t like what you find in me
I’ll let you down, I’ll fail you
I’ll let you down, I promise I’ll fail you
But if you’re content we can sit by the water
And one by one, we can skip the stones from the wall that I built
Till we can be together
Today you removed a stone in the wall that I built
To keep me from hurting myself or anyone else
I’ll admit that I’m scared, but I don’t want to run so I’ll stay here as long as you want
