Heart of Stone
I felt we were the perfect couple,
But outside forces will always,
Stop us from being in love.
Something was missing,
Opportunity's not taken,
Noticing something wasn't quite right.
Teasing me, playing with my heart,
Then sensing she was the wrong woman.
Realizing she was stopping herself,
From falling in love.
She gave me what I thought I needed,
But my mind, body, and soul wouldn't,
Let us open the door to allow ourselves,
To be free to love.
I was afraid of being hurt by you again.
So I walk away and your wall,
Continues to stand not,
Allowing anyone in.
