I sit here alone upon my solitary throne    
All doors and this heart under lock and key
Thoughts keep swirling in my mind
One in particular still haunts me

Nobody will see what hides inside
I keep it all hidden under lock and key    
Had a lot of practice with my poker face
Locked in a closet with a skeleton key

You'll never know what gets to me
You never cared anyhow, not really
I've tried to let go of it all
But I will carry it all until eternity

The only way I could keep from return
Was to deal the final blow, you see    
I could not return to the deception
So I did what I did for me
Yes, I turned him in so I wouldn't go back to a loser.  Lose the zero, but don't find a hero....
