Kat Eaton - Barricade

For one split second before I wake
As I open my eyes
There's a sweet soft silence I dare not break
For fear of what lies behind

I'm in denial but I know damn well
That I'm not over you
And when it all comes flooding back to me
There's nothing that I can do

So I put up a barricade
High enough to keep me safe from harm
So I could still be someone
I put up a barricade
Till every little trace of you is gone
Will I ever move on?

One split second is all it takes
To shatter a heart
And serve a lifetime forever in defence
Where the battle is hard

You know I tried to fight fire with fire
But this pain is much too real
So when it all comes flooding back to me
And there's nothing else I can feel

I put up a barricade
High enough to keep me safe from harm
So I could still be someone
I put up a barricade
Till every little trace of you is gone
Will I ever move on?

Maybe they're right that times a healer
Maybe there might be a better way
But while I wait

I'll put up a barricade
High enough to keep me safe from harm
I put up a barricade
Till every little trace of you is gone
Ohhh
I put up a barricade
High enough to keep me safe from harm
So I could still be someone
I put up a barricade
Till every little trace of you is gone
Will I ever move on?
Move on
