The Key to My Heart

by Jeannette Lopez   Feb 1, 2006


I felt like I've been locked up for centuries
In my own steel locked heart
Fearing that all my sorrow would come back
And the endless tears would restart
In love, I've struggled all my life
Trying to find that thing that would make it complete
When I found you, I found something else
And I hoped that the heart brakes wouldn't repeat
Then when I had given up on love
You were my angel sent from above
Who came to rescue me from pain
And show me what it feels like to be loved
So you came and wanted to enter my heart
But I was scared to let go and trust your love
Cuz of everything I've been through
My poor heart has had enough!
But when you talk to me alone
The difference between your words and the rest aren't the same
I realized that you meant what you said
Something in your eyes said, "Your heart's safe"
You gave me everything I've always wanted and needed
You bring forth love, joy, and laughter everyday
You show me that you care all though you think you don't
I thank you for sending my sorrow far far away
I'll give you all I can give to you
Cuz you gave me peace and joy
So with an open heart I come to you
And ask of you my heart not to destroy
You were the one that is now inside my heart
You found the key that I had thrown away
Make yourself comfortable in there
Cuz it was given to you to stay
