@jorh wrote a beautiful lyric that resonated very strongly with me, so I set it to music. Original lyrics post here:
https://fawm.org/songs/95129/
If I could tell you the truth about how I cry at night
Then you may realise why its flight not fight
Can you stop and talk me down when my barriers go up
I need your help because I’m struggling to love
My broken heart
I’m hard to love
Don’t worry I realise
My guarded walls
It’s hard to trust
I’ve seen too many lies
But i promise you this
I promise you this
I promise I’m going to try
If I could tell you the truth about how I cry at night
Then you may realise why its flight not fight
Can you stop and talk me down when my barriers go up
I need your help because I’m struggling to love
My broken heart
It hurts to lose
Every time I evacuate
My destructive ways
Are here to stay
I left it far too late
But I promise you this
I promise you this
I tried my best to change
But i left it far too late babe
Fear of leaving
Fear of breaking
Fear of giving up
Fear of nothing
Fear of something
Fear of living up
Fear
It runs along my blood
Fear
It breaks my means to love
But I promise you this
I promise you this
I tried my best to change
But i left it far
I left it far
I left it far too late babe

What a poignant, very moving, lyric. I love the concept of 'struggling to love'.
Beautiful musical and vocal interpretation by pearlmanhattan.
A winner all round. Good work. 😉

Beautiful vocal and really terrific arrangement with the music. Nice and tight. Lovely lyrics to work with here. Great job!

This is on the jukebox at some crossroads bar/diner late at night, food's not so hot, hardly anyone's here and I'm nursing a now-warm beer. Music and lyrics are perfection together.
