I locked my heart away in a cage with iron bars.
I didn’t know that hiding the key would be so hard.
I thought that no feelings could get through, in or out.
I want these emotions gone without a doubt.

I tried not to get hurt but it didn’t go so well.
I got right back up, but once again I fell.
I am afraid to love; the rejection rate’s too high.
I guess I’ll never find the perfect guy.

I never let anyone close to my heart,
‘Cause when they get near, things always fall apart.
I long for someone, but it seems I’m too scared.
I wish that for once someone cared.

I might have loved once, but it was already too late.
I just helped him get his girl, my cage now has a gate
Surrounding the outside, pushing feelings aside.
When he asked if I had someone, I lied.

No matter how hard I try the feelings just won’t leave.
My heart is trying to tell me that I should believe.
Every time my heart is crushed (in many different ways)
I seem to hide my feelings deeper within a harder maze.

I tried to run from these feelings, but they never go away.
I hid, and hid, but they always seem to stay.
My heart is aching, for I’m afraid to love.
Where is this perfect guy that I’ve heard of?
