A shield for your body, a trap for your words
I pull your shape too close, so differences are blurred
A shade for your vision and armor for the fray
You locked up all your demons, now hurt can't get away
Tell these lies so nothing's wrong
Strain your voice so words are strong
You built these walls to keep us safe, now no one can escape
Are we better off with this tough love?
Choked by your hands that embrace from afar
How does cruelty heal? This tough love leaves a scar
Numb yourself so you can feel
Open wounds so we can heal
You say we can rebuild this love for weathering the storm
But you rip out little pieces, now we're torn
You say there'll be a safety rope before we hit the ground
But every hurt has weakened every strand
You built these walls to keep us safe, now no one can escape
Are we better off with this tough love?
