I made a promise to myself a few years ago
To seal my heart away, to never let love grow
Be the perfect girl and always play my part
While holding out against love's onslaught on my heart

But playing with lust is a dangerous thing
Sooner or later love started to pull me in
It was the onset of panic, joy and regret
I could do little to stop it, the course had thus been set

The rest of my guards fell and I yet exposed
Playing a game where anything goes
Wanting a heart that will never be mine
Unrequited love..the most vicious crime

Knowing it's best to just walk away
Convincing the heart it would hurt more to stay
Teary eyes kiss him a solemn goodbye
You scrape the broken pieces up and try not to cry
