I built a wall around my heart
To keep my emotions locked away
But that wall was broken for you.
I made a commitment and a vow
To be true to someone as long as I lived
But that vow was broken for you
I gave you my trust
Daring to believe your every word
But that trust was broken by you
I let you have my heart
Fully and completely, without question
But that heart was broken by you
I dreamed bigger bolder dreams
Of a future that would have you in it
But those dreams were broken by you
I used to have a life that I enjoyed
Because I didn't know what I was missing
But now I am irreparably broken for you.
