I built a wall of glass around me
So that I could see the world as I wanted to see it:
   without pain
   hate
   fear

And I was never lonely
Because you always passed by and waved.

When you came with a ladder,
I was afraid - but I helped you in
And you helped me out

(I still remember your kiss,
lips
Soft and warm)

We built a ladder, so I could leave,
But when you left, I burned it

You shattered my glass to make amends
But I don't think you've earned it

(You still remember what I miss,
hands
Soft and warm)
