Really want to open up, but scared as hell of getting hurt 

Don't want to be played like a fool

My heart is already battered and bruised 

The scars imprinted like a tattoo

Not sure if I can shed another tear

My eyes no longer see the light 

They're smothered in fear

So I keep my distance and push away

Because it's the only way to keep my heart safe 

Been let down too many damn times to trust anyone 

So I remain alone isolated from everyone
