my heart resides
behind big walls thats hard to penetrate
before I built them
naive to think love would only make
me feel happy
my sweet heart stabbed me in the back
madly in love
wasn’t prepared for her blatant attack
on my innocence
in a sense strengthened my defense
try to get close you might get shocked
because the fence is electric
elected to rebel against relationships
leaving yourself unguarded you get hurt
and I can’t take that shit, right now
mind you my muse abused my trust
I had unlimited love and she used it all up somehow
so now I’m jaded and afraid to commit
another brother thats bitter
and I’m quick to admit
I ain’t lookin for no
valentine to slow dance
I’m saying no to romance
We could make love
but I’m not your man
It would take wonder woman
with a wrecking ball
to soften my heart for me to love
and break through these walls
