I've done this before
Been here done this before
Truth be told

I don't know why I stopped
It was easier this way
Never showing my true self
Hiding in my shell
Keeping my walls up
Never letting my guard down
I should have left it that way
I should have known
I've been hurt to many times

My spirits have been trampled on
My feelings crushed too many times
I should have known better
Didn't I learn the last time?
So now I know
Back to the stoney silence I go.
