Keep My Heart Safe

It's time to move on from the past and leave the dark days I've got a few remedies to ease the heartache In order to love you, I know you need my heart babe But i've been hurt so much, I need to keep heart safe I'm not looking for love, and I don't need it either Giving you a second chance will only make my bleeding deeper I forgive you, but I'm not giving you the chance to stay around You thought it'd be a walk in the park and I'd happily be your playground i've been betrayed so many times I've lost my ability to trust I know forgiveness is important and humility's a must But I stay to myself because I've only been seeing betrayal We live in a time where people have an issue with being faithful I've crossed oceans for people who wouldn't step over a puddle for me That's why opening up is a struggle for me If you kick me while I'm down, you better hope I don't get back up You won't win a race against someone who's used to being on the back foot Proving people wrong is my favourite tactic So I'm eating with the same knife I've been stabbed in the back with If you spoil me with loyalty I'll double it in return But I'm keeping my heart safe because not many people are true to their words
