There's a chain around my heart,
I've got it locked away.
I don't dare give anyone the key,
In fact I've thrown it all away.
This is for my own protection,
No one can hurt me anymore.

Maybe this was a bad decision,
Maybe staying alone is not the right choice.
Now I'm more hurt than ever,
Lonely, scared, pushing people all away.
For fear of being hurt again,
But has this hurt me more?

So confused,
This is how I feel.
Maybe they were right,
Perhaps I just deserve this?
No, no, no, definitely not,
This pain too much for any to bear alone..

But who must I go to?
Won't I just be a burden?
Why give someone else all this,
To make them carry it too?
Maybe someone will not mind?
Will be happy by my side?

Maybe,
Maybe not..
Confused,
Do I have to be alone..?
