I lived a petrified life
frightened, and terrified
afraid to love
and not to be loved
I shut everything down
kept the door closed
my feelings hidden
and my thoughts locked-up
It was all pain
full of despair
covered with so much darkness
and a total block-out
The grief of letting go
I am losing myself
when you found yours
in another's arms.

I lived a petrified life
frightened, and terrified
afraid to love
and not to be loved
I shut everything down
kept the door closed
my feelings hidden
and my thoughts locked-up
It was all pain
full of despair
covered with so much darkness
and a total block-out
The grief of letting go
I am losing myself
when you found yours
in another's arms.
