Caged
My heart caged for protection
I gave you the key with instructions
Never open the cage, don’t toy with the key
You look at the key one day and think
What harm?
You feel the key and think
This isn’t bad
You begin to carry the key with you thinking,
I like this
You drop the key and you think
It is only a scratch, it will still work
You insert the key in the cage
But you do not open the door
You insert the key and take out my heart
Only to return it very soon
The key you carry becomes damaged
From the disclosure
Time slips by unnoticed
You want to use the key
You want my heart for your own selfish reason
Finally I have realized
My heart caged for protection
The lock has been changed
I gave you the key with instructions
Never open the cage, don’t toy with the key
You look at the key one day and think
What harm?
You feel the key and think
This isn’t bad
You begin to carry the key with you thinking,
I like this
You drop the key and you think
It is only a scratch, it will still work
You insert the key in the cage
But you do not open the door
You insert the key and take out my heart
Only to return it very soon
The key you carry becomes damaged
From the disclosure
Time slips by unnoticed
You want to use the key
You want my heart for your own selfish reason
Finally I have realized
My heart caged for protection
The lock has been changed
