Some hearts are destine to live life empty and all alone
That isn't so bad for that is all they will ever have known
They keep the door to their hearts closed for deep inside the have a fear
The pain that seems to come when the heart lets someone near

Some of us open our hearts inviting love to walk right in
Most of the time we loose but sometimes we are lucky and we win
I opened my heart once not so very long ago
I found that pain that a closed heart will never know

Yesterday it was filled with joy and love so very strong
Now I sit in pain alone wondering just what went so wrong
I never knew that being in love would hurt so painfully bad
I am filled with a empty feeling painful and so sad

Now I close the door to my heart and toss away the key
I vow never again to take a chance that love will ever hurt me
The fire of love that once my heart did hold
Is now filled with ice all frozen dark and cold

I gave my all and no  more love I have to give
Now and forever with my empty heart I will live
