| I had locked the door upon my heart, And wouldn't let anyone in. I had trusted and loved only to hurt, But that would never happen again. I took the key and tossed it, As hard and far as I could... Love would never enter there again, My heart was closed for good. Just when I thought that tiny key, Was impossible to find. You came along and found my heart... And made me change my mind. You held out your hand and proved to me, That I was very wrong. For inside your palm was the key to my heart, You had it all along... |
