These walls

These walls
verse
I fold up my feelings and put them away.
on gloomy days when it rains.
because I know if I drink l’ll start thinking.
I will drive myself insane.
pre chorus
With questions I don’t want answered;
with lies I can’t deny.
I keep my heart behind closed doors.
where no one hears it cry.
chorus
It’s lonely, it’s lonely;
living behind these walls.
It's lonely, It’s lonely
living behind these walls.
verse
I hide my emotions and keep them inside.
so people won’t ask what's wrong;
because I’d much rather suffer in silence;
In the shadows of these walls.
pre chorus
with questions I don’t want answered.
With lies I can’t deny.
I keep my heart behind closed doors.
Where no one hears it cry.
chorus
It’s lonely, It’s lonely
living behind these walls.
It’s lonely, it’s lonely
living behind these walls.
bridge
But loneliness beats pity.
The gaze of their judging eyes.
My pride detests sympathy.
So behind these walls I hide.

I've said this before, but I sometimes find it hard to offer constructive criticism until I hear words put to music. I think there's others on the forum who are better than me at analyzing lyrics on their own. I hope someone takes on your words..they look good to me.😀

Hi Caroll,

Nice song, tight.

This is a kind of song that is driven by the emotion of the singer

Listen to Goodbye by Steve Earle, that kind of delivery suits it,

Keep them coming Caroll

The loneliness here appears to be self-inflicted, so I find it harder to empathize, but others might.

I think the lyric is well put together though.
