We sit at the dinner table with nothing
to say-
We casually talk about each of
our days.
We eat in silence as the clock
ticks overhead-
And you stare at the paper
you've already read.
When did the walls come that
surround your heart?
When did you build them?
When did you start?
I only wish that when you
looked at me-
You saw all the love there
you used to see.
How can I tear them down-
You've built your walls so strong.
As the room echos the silence-
I wonder what I've done wrong.
Dishes finished - you sit and
stare at the t.v.-
What I would give if you would just
turn and look at me!
I look out the window as the day
turns into night-
And I wonder what I could do
to make everything allright.
You've built your walls so well-
and you won't let me through-
So I cry here in the darkness-
and keep on loving you...........
