Open Your Heart
First loves never truly go away
So move on you ask,
Get over me you say
I’ll get right on it in the next century
But my heart was still open,
Which made no sense
You didn’t prevent me from opening it,
I was just a mess
I opened my heart
Heeded your advice,
I just gave my heart away
For the wrong price
It’s hard to me to understand
How I can still love you
But love someone else
I don’t want to love you anymore
It’s too hard for me to do
You moved on so easily
That I wonder if it was true
Or if our love was just a lie
Or a way for you to pass the time
You were my first love
And maybe that is what hurts
But I wasn’t yours
And that’s the difference
I can open my heart
Now that I’ve found another
Just as you did
And move on
This love is much better
It’s more two-sided
It’s easier to maintain
And I’m not as insecure
Our love is true
And one I don’t dare break
I’ve opened my heart
And there it will stay
Because this time I know
I can keep it that way
