Is it the fear of not knowing or the fear of rejection
Are you afraid of standing out or letting someone in
Beneath your tough exterior,your heavy face, and your broken heart
Lies within the real you
So let the walls crumble down
When they crumble
The one who sees the real you will be there to catch you when you fall
