Unlock My Heart

Unlock My Heart
 
Your love is like a ball and chain
Guess I only have myself to blame
 
I’m just sitting wishing I was free
As the echo on the summer’s breeze
 
I can remember back so long ago
When I gave you a hand to hold
 
Well your heart took advantage of me
It was plain and there for anyone to see
 
Stole my heart and treasures from my home
Now all I ask is to be free and left alone
 
Take these chains from upon my aching heart
And tear all of my heart felt love letters apart
 
All the wine in the world can’t change the way I feel
You took your stone cold heart and you made it real
 
The way you treat me and to think I’m with you still
I found my heart’s remedy doesn’t come in a pill
 
If it happens that I never again taste your kiss
That’s just one thing I surely wouldn’t miss
 
I can no longer stand to be in your embrace
You are just one of the demons I must to face
 
Sometimes I here angels saying there heavenly prayers
It gives my heart comfort that someone could be there
 
Every night I blow the lonely moon a kiss goodnight
I pray an answer come to me in dawn’s early light
 
Recently my heart has just come to know
You have to love yourself to continue to grow
 
If by chance you still care at all for me
You will unlock my heart and set me free
