Shut Off My Heart
Through all the pain in my life
I think I should just shut off
Shut off and go away
and pretend to be lost
It’s better that way
no one to hurt
No one to love me
and then see their eyes divert
Why do I let people see my shadowy heart?
You’d think this time I would be smart
Always letting myself finally believe
Believe I found love so open and sweet
Finally thinking I could let my heart fly free
Now I know it never happens that way for me
