The Heart

There is a heart locked in a box of pain

Wanting so long to be free

And wanting more to be in love again

Not believing anyone can turn the key

There is a story that's been told before

Of a good love that went bad

And of one who gave so much he gave himself away

And left the heart so empty and so sad

Friends who come to feed the heart

Are turned away by the walls within

The heart grows more lonely in its box of pain

It gives love but it cannot take it in

Here is the strongest heart that anyone has known

Locked up so long and going blind

And in its darkness it does not see

It could break out any time

There is something that always seems so clear

From the outside looking in

When the heart is empty and it cannot feel

Let someone fill it once again

Here is the strongest heart that anyone has known

Locked up so long and going blind

And in its darkness it does not see

It could break out any time

It could break out any time
