Has my heart yet again lead me down a broken road
One that’s all to familiar and unpleasantly cold
Or has it just selected for me
Another rotten apple, in my never-ending battle
For a key to my heart
Because truth be told, I cannot take it any longer
And my worlds already falling apart.
So please I beg you, O’ heart of mine
Close your broken gate
Bar it shut, secure with chain, keep out the pain
Before it’s to late
Because my worlds crumbling
And can’t handle another quake
Numb to the world I am
And all I’m holding onto is about to break.
So, O’ heart of mine- I beg you.
Lock yourself away,
I’m tired of playing, I’m tired of trying
And always getting the same
So, this is it, it’s over
This is it, I’m done
The noose has been drawn up;
My lonely heart hung.
