I wish to make friends,
I wish to meet new people.
I wish that I could find someone,
Who loves the same things I do.
And although I know I'm not the most social,
I admit I still get lonely.
I wish I had another friend,
Someone else to care.
But I'm afraid, oh, so afraid,
Afraid of getting close.
You see, I've been too close before,
Been beaten, hurt, and torn.
Someone's left my heart in pieces,
And I'm afraid to love again.
Too afraid to let another in,
Only to have the same happen again.
It's happened not once to me before,
But twice, and I can take no more.
Don't get too close,
Just stay away.
Hold on to the rest of your shattered heart,
And keep all intruders away.
Don't let them see your broken heart,
Or else they will all know.
They'll know that you are already beaten,
And they'll take even more away.
