Testo Building A Shield

Softly softly,
Blow the candle out,
And show me,
What it’s all about.
Delicately bruise me,
On the edge of a knife every day, day, day,
Come and save me,
Show me a better way, Right now,
It’s so scary.

Suffering in silence never did me any good,
It’s a draining waste,
And I will not forget that sound,
The day you killed my butterflies and sent them away to heaven,
Watching as they fluttered away into the dark,
Broken dreams,
They melted away into the earth,
Breaking me you drifted away into my soul,
And I tried so hard to be good,
For you,
But you never knew,
What I had to do, To feel safe from you,
All these years.

Building a shield,
Over my heart,
Instead of feeling free,
Building a shield,
Over my heart,
Instead of being me.

Suffering in silence never did me any good,
It’s a draining waste,
And I will not forget that sound,
The day you killed my butterflies and sent them away to heaven,
Watching as they fluttered away into the dark,
Broken dreams,
They melted away into the earth,
Breaking me you drifted away into my soul,
And I tried so hard to be good,
For you,
But you never knew,
What I had to do,
To feel safe from you,
All these years.

Building a shield,
Over my heart,
Instead of feeling free,
Building a shield,
Over my heart,
Instead of being me.

Building a shield,
Over my heart,
Instead of feeling free,
Building a shield,
Over my heart,
Instead of being me.
