Iron Clad Gate

When it comes to love some run hot and cold 
They never give love a chance to fully unfold 
Over and over again they've been a victim of rejection 
So they become afraid and sparse with their affection 

They tie their heart with an imaginary string 
So the can reel it in before they feel loves sting 
They erect a wall when they start to get close 
A barrier goes up so their true feelings they don't expose 

They wear this armor so their heart they can protect 
Because rejection is what they ultimately expect 
They're caught in a tug of war between head and heart 
Should they take a risk or not even start 

They push people away;make them feel ignored 
When they really just want to be loved and adored 
True love is what they are virtually after 
To live a life full of love,joy and laughter 

So subconsciously they test who is going to stay 
Weed out the ones who will just walk away 
They are looking for the one who will patiently wait 
To give them the key to the iron clad gate
