I Built a City
(Verse 1)
You sit in your room
Covered in blankets
A pillow to your face
Masking your cries
The tears raining down
The choked sobs stoppep
You tell yourself it's lies
What they said isn't true
Your heart disagrees
For the truth
Shines in their words
(Chorus)
I spend countless hours
Learning to love me
To respect myself
Then you showed up
With a few words
You bring the city down
A few whispers and I'm out
I built a city
For you to destroy
(Verse 2)
You go through your day
Not trusting your mood
Your thoughts stuck on their words
Truth or lie?
Your mind can't decide
The words got sting
You can't shake the feeling
That they might be true
So you cower
Tears in your eyes
(Bridge)
You can't block the sounds
You can't forget
Your mind keeps spinning
Arund those words
That hold great weight
You are so scared
That they might be true
You are alone
In this darkness
So you do one thing
To dull the pain
You let your tears fall
(Chorus)
I spent countless hours
Learning to love me
To respect myself
Then you showed up
With a few words
You bring the city down
A few whispers and I'm out
I built a city
For you to destroy
