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.
