You've held the key to my heart
For so long.
But me, being me;
Much too practical for my own good,
I changed the locks.
[What you don't know is that your
Key will still open the door]
I slammed that door right in your face,
Thinking that we were better off.
"We can't" I said. "This isn't right."
You told me I needed to let go,
To let my heart lead me
But you don't understand.
I did let my heart lead me.
[It led me to you, didn't it?]
But I was too sheltered,
Too naive to realize what I had in you.
My heart may have longed for you,
But in my mind....
[I knew it wouldn't last.]
But, oh, how my heart pines for you now,
It begs me daily to give in.
But I know that I’ve hurt you too badly,
To come crawling back.
[It’s not about my pride anymore,
Or even about my emotions.]
It’s about you now.
And the fact that you’ve moved on.
Seeing you with her feels
As if I’ve been pierced through the heart.
I wish I could turn back the time,
To make it alright again.
[But time does not bend,
For unfortunate lovers]
Time swiftly moves on,
As my heart breaks bit by bit.
I ask myself why.
Why did I ever give up on you?
I guess now I’ll never know.
[And you’ll be left with her,
Unaware of how my heart aches]
And that’s the way it should be.
For so long.
