It's cold here inside my heart,
sometimes i wish i didn't have one.
I'm so tired of getting hurt,
I don't want my heart no more.

I'll rip out my heart and out it in a chest,
maybe like that it will be safe.
1,000 locks with different keys,
so the chest could only be open by me.

It would be hidden in the most secret place,
maybe that way I will never cry again.
In the farthest place the chest will be hard to reach,
the further away, the harder to get.

I just want to keep my heart happy and safe,
but its not possible these days
