I have always been hard to love
But am quick to fall in love
My father called me tree hugger growing up
Because I have always cared deeply
for everything living
Expect for myself

All the boys that broke my heart
Said I was too hard to open
All I heard was that I’m not pretty enough to work for
Maybe that’s been the truth all along

Now I break my own heart to save them from trying
It hurts less if I’m the one pulling the trigger
So I tell people I just haven’t found the one yet
When I know deep down I’m a lock that never had a key
Nobody will ever fit me perfectly
And I need to start accepting that
