Shut Off My Heart

Through all the pain in my life 
I think I should just shut off

Shut off and go away
and pretend to be lost

It’s better that way
no one to hurt

No one to love me
and then see their eyes divert

Why do I let people see my shadowy heart?
You’d think this time I would be smart

Always letting myself finally believe
Believe I found love so open and sweet

Finally thinking I could let my heart fly free
Now I know it never happens that way for me
