Time for Love

Gotta get my heart back in the right place with all the new repairs it has.

This new repair is bulletproof, knife proof, water proof, lie

proof, has a lock on it and I'll have the key!

But that still won't be enough because I'll unlock it and open my heart again like a dummy.

Then I'll redo all those repairs and lock my heart away again and throw away the key this time.

I'll put it back up where it belongs in my chest.

I don't want to give up on love but I get tired of being a "dummy"

I want to be free from the aggravation of finding someone and find out they deserve to be slam dunked into the trash can

When I do find someone worth while, I'm afraid of their love and that they may hurt me

I'm afraid that they'll leave me on the curb like some trash

I'm afraid that they'll lie to me when I'm at my worst but want me to pick them up when they need to be at their best

I'm afraid that I'll become selfish and not willing to love anyone because everyone else did me dirty

But I guess it's time for to stop being afraid

It's time for me find that key I threw outside

When that guy that is just right for me shows up, I'll show him a love that he deserves and yearned for for the longest

I don't want to hurt him no more than has probably already been hurt

I don't want to take his love for granted

I don't want to be selfish

It's going to take time for me to trust him and believe that he doesn't want to hurt me

I'm willing to make it work with him but just be patient with me and don't leave me when I'm too much

Give me a hug and a kiss on my forehead and tell me everything is going to be alright

I'll make sure that my heart is open just for you
