Paved heart
My heart has been stolen
Several times
And my heart has been broken
And cut with a knife
My heart has been glued
and taped and sewed
And left behind
trampled and scarred
So one day I decided
To close the gates
Cause there wasn’t much left
of my heart
I locked down the fences
Painted and paved it
So all my feelings
wouldn’t just show
I denied the fact
That there were any keys
I build a fortress
designed to lay low
But as every fortress
It would go down
In battle time
Or during peace
And for some sort of reason
she went down with love
It slipped through the bars,
a feeling I can not seize
I met him and loved him
And with his words
He opened the gates
of my heart
And my heart once so shut
Lies open to him
No longer paved
But still a bit scarred
It’s beating and pounding
And making me nervous
And I can not help
to feel afraid
Cause my heart has been thrown
Broken and stolen
For so many times
In so many ways
So I started paving
But his words just break open
And stop me from doing
what I’m ‘bout to do
That’s why I’m so grateful
And I wish I could tell him
“where would I be, without you?”
