Golden Key

The golden key lies within my heart
A closed door locks me in
The only way to make me open it
Is to love me irrevocably

Blood pounding through my veins
Butterflies tingle in my stomach
My heartstrings tied up in knots
That's what I need

Love takes laughter and crying
Something my heart can't handle
So a wall surrounds my love's keeper
Cause I'm afraid to get hurt

I've seen people down that road
So I've hidden the key deep
No one can ever get in
Until I'm not scared anymore

One day, I'll learn tears is a part of life
However, for right now, right here
I'll keep the golden key in my heart
And a locked door to close me in
