I want to turn off my heart before it's destroyed.
Go back to being safe where I once felt being alone was the only way.
With no fear of getting hurt or never needing anyone else.
I know it's not living, but it's surviving.
Many times in my life, surviving is the best we can do.
Living can be painful since loving means opening up.
Letting someone know weak you can be - trusting them not to abuse that power.
Yet I know deep within my heart I will love again and make the same mistakes that will take me down the path of pain.
Noone can turn off their heart...I can't turn off my heart.
