Why I wouldn't open up to you.
Why trust someone who never listens?
Who kept me just for the attention?

Words flew out
But the barrier remained
Though no matter how hard you tried
It forever stayed.

Nothing told how I felt
My smiles and laughs seemed all to real
Nothing like the fakes
But I sure fooled you.

No, you don't understand
Why I wouldn't open up to you.
Why trust someone who never listens?
Who kept me just for the attention?

My wall too high
My spirit seemed to fly
Only it wasn't a secret
Of how the words never reached us.

I opened up
But always at the right time.
You pushed me away
And realized too late.

No, you don't understand
Why I wouldn't open up to you.
Why trust someone who never listens?
Who kept me just for the attention?

Outside, I'm an angel
Alone, I'm mistaken.
But now I see the truth
And only spot a monster.

I almost told you everything about me
What fool I was to trust you.
But now my wall's stronger
And I can only thank you.

No, you don't understand
Why I wouldn't open up to you.
Why trust someone who never listens?
Who kept me just for the attention?

You hit the restart button
But it took you longer than before
And by the time I came though
You were pushing me out the door.

Begs and pleas
For me to open up
Yet I always pushed by
Never showing what's inside.

So, no you don't understand
Why I wouldn't open up to you.
Why trust someone who never listens?
Who kept me just for the attention?
