I closed the door of my heart,
Wouldn't let anyone in,
I trusted and loved to only get hurt,
That would not happen again.
I locked the door and tossed my key
As hard and as far as I could,
No love would ever enter there again,
This heart was closed for good.
That was when you came into my life
You made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was almost impossible to find.
You came to me and held out your hand
You proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was that key to my heart...
You had it all along.
