I’m afraid to let you in
I don’t want to be torn down
These walls I’ve built around my soul are all that’s left, my only crown
But you’re taking it apart now dear, stone by cold hard stone
Just promise me when the walls are gone I won’t be left alone

There&#039;s no god. There&#039;s no religion. There&#039;s only life, what you do with YOUR life, who YOU let affect YOUR life. Bad things happen to everyone, you just have to learn to deal with them.
