Unlocked a Piece of Me

I've tied up my emotions for this reason exactly

He makes me think and wonder what it could be

And I torture myself about this madly

Trying to be what he wants – you see




My entire life I've imagined it to be this way

He fits inside of my mind like a puzzle piece

I just want him to be there and to stay

I'm nervous to hear that I won't bring him peace




I don't want to know the truth behind his words

I want to live in this make believe life

Because I know it would leave me disturbed

Bringing back all the pain and strife




To live in this happy bubble to be on cloud nine

To be his beautifully blinded freakshow

Is just perfectly, happily, safely mine

That is beyond what I'll ever truly know




I've locked my heart away so it could go untouched

Yet he somehow snuck deep inside of me

And his small insignificant words mean so much

He strummed the right chords so carefully




I know love and life is far from a fairy tale

And to be whom he wants to share his world

Is all that matters to a heart that has felt failed

Yet he's made my life unfurled
