You wear your heart like a shell on the shore
Waiting for the tide to come and pull you back for more
But the waves, they crash, and you're left alone
With the salt in your wounds and the weight of the unknown
You build your walls so high, made of tears and time
But inside there's a softness, where you try to hide
And you keep on running from the world outside
But it's just you and the sea, where your secrets lie
There's a place in your mind where the past won't fade
Every memory a scar, every promise unmade
You hold them close, like a treasure that you've found
But they're heavy in your hands, and they pull you down
You build your walls so high, made of tears and time
But inside there's a softness, where you try to hide
And you keep on running from the world outside
But it's just you and the sea, where your secrets lie
You reach for the moon, like it's something you could hold
But it slips through your fingers, and you're left in the cold
And the night is long, with shadows that you know
But you light a candle, and hope the flame will grow
But you build your walls so high, made of tears and time
And inside there's a softness, where you try to hide
And you keep on running from the world outside
But it's just you and the sea, where your secrets lie
You're looking for a place where you can be free
But you're tangled in the roots of what you used to be
And the waves keep calling, but you're afraid to dive
Into the depths where your fears come alive
So you build your walls so high, made of tears and time
But inside there's a softness, where you try to hide
And you keep on running from the world outside
But it's just you and the sea, where your secrets lie
