You could build a wall around you now no one would blame you

Everyone would sigh and sympathize for what you've been through

You could count the feelings that he walked on as a reason to let it in

Or count it as a ribbon in the race that you've been running when you win



But if it's love that you're playing for bet it all

There's no way to save your pride

Or leave a cushion for yourself should you fall

If it's love that you're playing for play to win

A heart is only broken when it loses the desire to try again



But you could build a wall around you know no one would blame you

Those who gather round would not look down although they're seeing through

You could let the sorrow that you're feeling be tomorrow's point of view

Or you could let the feeling that you're hoping for be what's guiding you



So if it's love that you're playing for ah bet it all...

You could build a wall around you now
