Unattainable Forgotten Heart

When you felt yourself get close You slammed your door shut You didn't wanna take that chance - 'cause you thought you'd get cut What I had done up until that point seemed never to be enough You said I seemed like I was always in my head Even though you're an introvert, you said Years of talking, interacting, & confiding in you But you say I had no reason to always continue to stay true You said I didn't have a good enough reason to wanna stay But before I met you, I had reasons to masquerade I'll always have my downer days - like you've had, too But even before I met you, I still continued to talk to you You used to tell me we got along better when it was in a chat box But if that's true, how did my heart almost unlock for you? In all of my life I've never, ever been in love with a soul 'Cause everyone I've tried to let in, has brutally taken a toll Not to mention that anybody could acquire my heart's key Just no one can open that lock 'cause nobody knows where it's at but me Until you - I still haven't let anybody else see I'm like a labyrinth, a hazy maze You can walk forever & ever & still not go anywhere near it The souls with strategy, the will, the want, & the curiosity Are the souls I'll consider finding me & the one I'll fall in love with freely But so far that hasn't quite happened yet But you've been the closest to my heart that anyone has attempted to get And for that attempt you hold first place to the heart everyone else has forgotten...
