  • I don't even try to fight it
    Yes, I'm too mature to hide it
    All that I feel I can't even explain
    But I know not a day goes
    I don't go out my way for you

    But you keep me on an island
    At best you're distant, and at worst you're hiding
    What's on your mind, baby time after time
    I try to break though your guard
    But it's so damn hard, child

    My heart beats every beat for you
    I hurt when you're hurt
    I'm blue when you're blue
    And I'm fighting but even the greatest of walls withstand

    My love is strong
    But it's weary from the climb
    Why can't you help me
    Can't you help me please break down your walls
    Can you please

    Cause I'm holding on
    But my spirit gets weary
    Oh, I know what it is
    It ain't easy, we must break down your walls
    But we must break

    Love has no fear, please take down your walls
    I'll be right here, please break down your walls

    You don't prove you're tough by shutting me out
    You ain't living alone
    But that's the way you carry it
    It's dead, so you just bury it
    It still hurts, we don't work
    And here I am just bearing it all

    My, my, my, my, my, my, my
    Why, why, why, why won't you
    Let me do what a lover's supposed to do
    Does it even matter to you that

    My heart beats every beat for you
    I hurt when you're hurt
    I'm blue when you're blue
    And I'm fighting but even the greatest of walls withstand

    My love is strong
    But it's weary from the climb
    Why can't you help me
    Can't you help me please break down your walls
    Can you please

    Cause I'm holding on
    But my spirit gets weary
    Oh, I know what it is
    It ain't easy, we must break down your walls
    But we must break

    Love has no fear, please take down your walls
    I'll be right here, please break down your walls Writer/s: ERNEST WILSON, JOHNTA AUSTIN, KEVIN RANDOLPH, STEVE WYREMAN
