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...
