Secrets

Secrets I keep inside of me
Feelings I wont let be

Afraid of getting hurt
Afraid of getting burnt

Slowly letting them slip to the top
Before putting an abrupt stop

My head says let us be loved
My heart says put on that glove

Protect yourself before it's to late
Just when it starts getting great

The words start flowing, get away,
Don't let your heart play

Nothing can come of this
You will only be hurt again

Why can't my heart and head get along
And let me do the things I long

Just let me be loved and belong
