Shut Down by The Cardboard City Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For all your strength
For all your wisdom
For all your heart
For all your presence
For all your drive
For all your breadth and depth of feeling
You still gave up
You still shut down

[Verse 2]
I’ve learned a lot
That’s what the song says
“Love is a flame”
But that’s just bullshit
It’s more like sunshine
You can either stay out in it, or go inside
You went inside
You just shut down

[Bridge]
How many times can I open up again?
How many times can I open up again?
When you start over with the next guy
Please try to make sure he’s got a thicker skin
[Verse 3]
For all your love
For all your honesty
For all your fears
That you let speak to me
For all you tried
For all you dared to stay alive
You still went dark
You still shut down

[Verse 4]
For all you had
For all you could have had
For all we shared
For all we could have shared
For all the freedom
That was yours to take
You still got scared
You still shut down

[Verse 5]
Next time you love
Next time you open up
Next time you’re you
In the full sense
Next time you stop
And let yourself feel everything that’s there, even if it scares you
Please don’t give up
Please don’t shut down
Please don’t shut down
Please don’t shut down
Please don’t shut down
