A Guarded Heart

My heart has always been guarded

With walls I have built so high

I never let anyone all the way in

Because I'm afraid to get hurt.

They say love is a wonderful feeling

Like you're floating on cloud nine

It makes your heat beat slow and fast

But it might get your heart broken.

I never let you in my heart

'Cause you might leave me all alone

Now I'm ready to give you a chance

But you have already moved on.

I tried reaching for you

To see if the love is still there

But you seem to be light years away

The closer I get, the farther you go.

I thought you're going to fight for us

I guess you're not the guy for me

From now on, my heart will be guarded

Vowing to not let anyone enter.

I'm afraid to need and love someone

I'm afraid they'll not need me back

I slowly gave up on what could happen

I lost hope that there will be an "us."

I have never felt so alone in my life

I was never genuinely loved by someone

It's because I kept on pushing them away

I guess it's true that people always leave…
