The Open Heart

You asked me to open my heart to you You said I absolutely must You said that you would take good care of it If only I would trust You asked me to open my heart to you I told you I was full of pain For I had opened my heart before And every day it rained You asked me to open my heart to you That you were not like the rest That I would find a safe place in you My trust you would not test You asked me to open my heart to you And looked me in the eye Promised you would never leave me But that was just a lie You asked me to open my heart to you I did it, I let you inside Now in the place where our love used to lay A relentless heartache resides You asked me to open my heart to you Now we don’t even speak The pain and the sorrow of our loss Has made me very weak You asked me to open my heart to you You know how the story goes After making myself so courageous Now you want it to close You asked me to open my heart to you I am not sorry I tried For the day we say no to love in our life Is the day we have truly died
