“Break the Wall”-by E-Lye Creed

LYRICS

[Verse 1]

When love fell apart, you went quiet inside,
learned how to survive by retreating your mind.
Every scar became proof you shouldn’t feel,
so you stacked your defenses brick by brick until nothing felt real.
Years went by with your heart on guard,
mistaking distance for strength, isolation for stars.
Now when something gentle comes close to your flame,
you pull away fast, like love’s gasoline to pain.

[Chorus]

Break the wall you’ve been building to stay safe,
I’m not here to hurt you or repeat that mistake.
Break the wall, let your heart remember how
love doesn’t always leave you on the ground.
I know you learned to close doors just to breathe,
but if you trust me…
we can break the wall between you and me.

[Verse 2]

you question every step, read danger in signs,
turning small imperfections into reasons to hide.
You’ve lived so long in a room full of smoke,
that clean air feels strange — almost hard to hold.
Sometimes you think ‘bout going back to the fire,
familiar chaos dressed up as desire.
But why return to the source of the ache,
when peace is waiting on the courage you take?

[Chorus]

Break the wall you’ve been building to stay safe,
I’m not here to hurt you or repeat that mistake.
Break the wall, let your heart remember how—
love doesn’t always leave you on the ground.
I know you learned to close doors just to breathe,
but if you trust me…
we can break the wall between you and me.

[Bridge]

Maybe hurt was never meant to live forever,
maybe lessons aren’t meant to turn into weather.
You can carry the past without living inside it,
you can feel again without fear guiding your silence.
We all choose what our pain becomes—
a prison…
or a passage to something more.
