I was still young and naive,

Her smile could brighten the darkest sky,

Cuddling on that golden beach,

We wished upon a shooting star.

So, I looked into her eyes and with a smile, I asked,

"Are you the one that'll stay with me?"

And watched as you silently walked away.

Harden my heart; feel no more,

That's the way I ought to be.

Then I met him,

He melted my heart; made me feel strong,

Even allowed me to believe again,

That true love might actually be real.

So, I looked into his eyes and with a smile, I asked,

"Are you the one that'll stay with me?"

And watched as you silently walked away.

Harden my heart; feel no more,

That's the way I ought to be.

Older now, more elegant and refined,

Now I know the real thing when I see it,

And finally, there she was,

Sipping her wine across from me.

So, I looked into her eyes and with a smile, I asked,

"Are you the one that'll stay with me?"

And watched as you silently walked away.

Harden my heart; feel no more,

That's the way I ought to be.

In me, a bitter heart had fully bloomed,

My walls, reinforced and built high,

Why should I let you in,

Only to be hurt once again?

So, I look at your feet and with a sigh, I asked,

"When will I see you walk away and leave me alone as well"

You pulled me in, held me tight, so warm and safe.

Soften my heart; Please dare to feel one more time,

That's the way I want to be.

The only way I know how to be,

When I'm in your arms.
