No Key For A Broken Heart

by Walter   Oct 16, 2022


I've counted the weeks, days and hours
And scribed them into my heart
Then suddenly you are at my door
Like we never fell apart

You make me listen to your long story
And each sentence ends with a plea
I can't believe that you are here again
Standing so close to me

Although I haven't yet said a word
It doesn't mean I forgive
But I can't just forget all the hurt
When I didn't even want to live

Because you made me feel that way
When you left me for a stranger
To think I was worried about you
How you might be in danger

And not a minute would ever pass
When you weren't on my mind
All the pain that you ever caused
I couldn't just leave behind

Now you just want me to accept
That our paths will now join and mend
But I am sorry that I'm not like you
Where I'll make my love pretend

How could I ever hold you?
And let go of all of the past
How could I once again love you?
When I wonder how long it will last

And it's true you wouldn't even be here
Unless your relationship failed
But how can you ask for forgiveness?
After everything you've unveiled

I suffered in silence for ages
Now for you this is how I remain
The door to my heart will stay closed
And the other I'll shut once again
