I got so good at saying: Fine
At keeping every hurt in line
I wore my smile, I played my part
And locked the door around my heart
You never pushed, you never tried
To pull the truth out from inside
You simply stayed, you let me be
And that was harder than I thought it'd be
'Cause if I let you see the cracks
There's no pretending after that
And if you stay when you see through
I might believe that I can too
When the walls come down
When the silence breaks
When I show you all
The parts I tried to erase
Will you turn away?
Will you leave somehow?
I have spent my whole life hiding
But I'm done hiding now
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
I learned to leave before goodbye
To make a joke when I could cry
I called it strength, I called it pride
But I was scared to let you inside
You saw the things I couldn't say
The little ways I pushed away
You didn't promise me the Moon
You just made room for me and you
'Cause if I let you see the cracks
There's no pretending after that
And if you stay when you see through
I might believe that I can too
When the walls come down
When the silence breaks
When I show you all
The parts I tried to erase
Will you turn away?
Will you leave somehow?
I have spent my whole life hiding
But I'm done hiding now
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
I don't need you to fix me
I don't need you to stay
I just need to stop pretending
That I'm never afraid
So here's the truth
No grand reveal
I'm not made of stone
I'm learning how to feel
When the walls come down
Let the whole world see
All the broken, beautiful pieces
That are still a part of me
I don't need to be fearless
I don't need to know how
I have spent my whole life hiding
But I'm done hiding now
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
No more pretending
No more standing guard
You don't have to break the walls
To reach my heart
