Lyrics
Verse 1
You boarded up the windows after the fall,
Nailed every hope to the hallway wall,
Said, “Never again, like a sworn defense,
Built your peace out of barbed-wire sense.
Every knock feels like a warning sign,
Every smile looks like a crime,
You call it strength, but deep inside,
It’s fear wearing armor, standing guard.
Chorus
A broken heart will lock the door,
Keep the light from coming in once more,
You can’t heal what you won’t allow,
You can’t be held if you won’t reach out.
Verse 2
You confuse survival with being whole,
Mistake the quiet for control,
But love don’t heal from far away,
It needs a chance, it needs a stay.
Every wall you swear keeps you safe,
Is stealing the air your heart still needs,
You’re bleeding slow, but you call it fine,
Because pain feels safer than the line.
Chorus
A broken heart will lock the door,
Bar the windows, brace the floor,
You can’t heal what you won’t allow,
You can’t be found if you won’t come out.
[Solo]
Verse 3
New love waits with gentle hands,
Not to replace what didn’t stand,
But to teach your heart how to trust again,
How to bend without breaking then.
Every chance you refuse to take,
Keeps the scar awake, awake,
You don’t heal by standing still,
You heal by risking feeling again.
Bridge
The wound stays open when you choose stone,
When you face the world alone,
Healing starts the moment you see,
Love is the medicine you’re denying yourself to be free.
Chorus
A broken heart will lock the door,
Call it wisdom, call it lore,
But grace can’t enter where fear now reigns,
And locked doors keep the hurt the same.
[Solo]
Outro
One small crack, one honest try,
Could let the sunrise touch your life,
The key was never far from you
Healing starts when the door opens too.
