My Guard Is Up

I was so vulnerable a long time ago
That my heart has put up walls.
My heart is being guarded by walls,
So that I don't get hurt again.

Maybe that's why I don't fall in love easily.
Maybe that's why I don't know how to love someone.
I am so scared of getting hurt that I distance myself,
And I don't show my feelings to the one's I love.

I keep everything bottled up inside
Because I don't know how to show you my feelings.
I don't know if you will understand any of this,
But I will try my best to show you how I feel.

My guard is up because I don't want to get hurt.
My heart has put up walls,
And it has no desired to tear them down.
