🎧 "Walls Between Us"™️

PRE-INTRO (spoken)

I been tryna build peace where pain keeps livin’.

Every time I reach for you, I find another distance.

We used to breathe in rhythm—now it’s silence between heartbeats.

If this is love, why does it sound like goodbye every time you speak?

(Whispers) Maybe the walls ain’t brick… maybe they’re us.

INTRO

Low light glowin’, same song playin’,

we don’t talk, we just keep stayin’.

Your eyes tell lies mine already knew,

love feels heavy when it’s pullin’ you through.

Pillow talk turned into war zones cold,

I miss the warmth that our hearts once hold.

VERSE 1

I gave you my truth, you traded it for pride,

you say “I’m fine” while you’re dyin’ inside.

You love me in fragments, just enough to confuse,

promise forever but leave me to lose.

Told me I’m safe, then cut me with silence,

how you heal me just to restart the violence?

We build, then break—it’s tragic design,

I’m loyal to pain if it keeps you mine.

HOOK

There’s walls between us, built from every word unspoken,

love’s foundation cracked but I still stand hopin’.

You reach for me through the hurt and the fear,

but touch don’t mean nothin’ when hearts disappear.

Still I stay, still I crave what’s gone,

’cause I don’t know how to move on.

VERSE 2

Midnight confessions, we whisper like thieves,

stealin’ back moments we both don’t believe.

Your kiss feel colder than the air we share,

yet I drown in it like I don’t care.

You said I’m the one, but your eyes keep wanderin’,

I chase closure, you keep me ponderin’.

Loyalty don’t breathe where trust won’t stay,

but I still pray we’ll find our way.

HOOK

There’s walls between us, built from every word unspoken,

love’s foundation cracked but I still stand hopin’.

You reach for me through the hurt and the fear,

but touch don’t mean nothin’ when hearts disappear.

Still I stay, still I crave what’s gone,

’cause I don’t know how to move on.

VERSE 3

We keep repaintin’ damage in prettier tones,

postin’ smiles to cover broken homes.

Every promise echoes in empty halls,

I hear your voice inside these walls.

If love was easy, we’d both be free,

but freedom’s lonely when it ain’t you and me.

I’d rather ache in this familiar static,

than heal alone—it’s automatic.

BRIDGE

If I tear down these walls, will you walk through?

Or are they safer for both me and you?

Love used to feel like wings in the sky,

now it’s weight I can’t deny.

If goodbye means peace, I’ll break in half,

but I’ll still whisper your name in the aftermath.

PRE-OUTRO (spoken)

Maybe love ain’t about fixin’—maybe it’s about facin’.

We built these walls to survive, not to stay.

Still… I keep knockin’.

OUTRO

Echoes fade where our hearts once met,

I remember your eyes, I remember regret.

If this is closure, it’s bittersweet and rough,

’cause even behind these walls… I love you enough.
