Call You My Own

I want to say what I feel,
I want to not have to hide my face,
I want you to let me heal,
Without saying “You’re such a disgrace”.

I lived so long in these walls,
I even called them home,
But when I needed a friend,
I pushed them aside,
And tried to let you in.

Is it really so hard to let me live,
To look me in the eyes,
And tell me you love me,
Without having to lie?

I lived so long in these walls,
I even called them home,
But when I needed a friend,
I pushed them aside,
And tried to let you in.

I never wanted it all,
Like you always swore I did,
I just needed a home,
Somewhere safe to call my own.

I lived so long in these walls,
I even called them home,
But when I needed a friend,
I pushed them aside,
And tried to let you in.

All I’ve ever wanted was a friend,
But you just couldn’t let me in.
