Open Up My Heart
I'm praying now,
I'm down on my knees.
"Don't let him say it,
please, God, please!"
When he says he loves me,
I'll have to say I don't.
Or maybe I do.
How can I know?
The one before him,
Ruined my heart.
I want to fall in love,
But I'm too afraid to start.
I know, I know,
He said he'd be true,
But the one before him,
Said he'd be faithful too.
Now, I'm thinking,
What can I lose?
I can't hang like this forever,
I know I'll have to choose
Between always being broken,
Or just plain moving on.
I will not win in fear,
or the one before has won.
It's truly not fair,
To make him wait for me.
I'm just wasting his time,
Unless I know I'm ready.
I'm trying so hard,
To forget all of the past.
All the love and memories,
But they always seem to last.
Still, when I see the one,
Who broke my heart in two,
Pain shoots through every nerve,
I can't think of what to do.
Now, amongst my thoughts,
Realization finally starts.
The new one's love is all I need,
To open up my heart.
I just hope he understands,
That I'll need some help to heal,
But at last I'm moving forward,
Slowly, but for real.
And as I stand by him today,
I know I can move on.
My figure may have stayed the same,
But my heart's two pieces became one.
I'm down on my knees.
"Don't let him say it,
please, God, please!"
When he says he loves me,
I'll have to say I don't.
Or maybe I do.
