My heart is heavy with unwept tears
My mind is plagued by foolish fears
I don't know where to turn
I'm looking for a safe place to run
but there's nowhere in sight
The world is spinning around me
Everything is a blur
Is this what I get for trusting again?

I'll keep my heart under lock and key
They'll never know what they cannot see
Even as I fall apart again…
So I'll keep my heart under lock and key
Never again feeling this pain that fills me
My heart is safest when it belongs to only me
Oh-oh, under lock and key

Like a message in a bottle
Lost on the seas
Forgotten and unseen
Living life in a waking dream
Unable to bear such an empty reality
But life loses meaning as you cling to fantasy
Disconnected from the world around you

I've kept my heart under lock and key
They don't know what they cannot see
Even when I fell apart again…
Yeah, I've kept my heart under lock and key
Been numb for far too long
I want to feel something inside
I need to feel alive
Oh, been under lock and key

Been searching so long for an answer
Anything to make the pain worthwhile
Everywhere I turn, just more of the same
But a little ray of hope keeps pushing me forward
The road has been rough
But I'm loving where it has led me
No, I'll never give up
No matter what life hands me
No, I'll never give in
Because the pain will never be enough to block out love

My heart is a lock and I've given away the key
It's worth it to have someone who truly knows me
Even if I fall apart again, I know it's not the end
Never again under lock and key
Instead feeling alive and free
Come what may, I will face the day
This is my choice, for better or worse
My heart is a lock and I've given you the key…
I've been playing with this idea since the beginning of summer but it didn't click until today. It ended up taking a very different direction than I originally intended, but I am so happy with how it turned out!

Suggestions are really appreciated!

I really like this And it is clear alot of thought went into it. Here is what I thought:
My heart is heavy with unwept tears
My mind is plagued by foolish fears

these first to lines rhymed but the rest didn't it threw me and It would have been nice if you could have ether continued with the rhyme or reworded it so it doesn't rhyme.

I don't know where to turn
I'm looking for a safe place to run

Your looking for a place to turn to or run to? both are really good but maybe adding a line in between to tie them together more?

but there's nowhere in sight
The world is spinning around me
Everything is a blur
Is this what I get for trusting again?

This is really good I love it, you could go into what or who they trusted but it isn't a must

I'll keep my heart under lock and key
They'll never know what they cannot see

this is pure magic absolutely perfect

Even as I fall apart again…

why are you falling apart?

So I'll keep my heart under lock and key

is the "so" needed?

Never again feeling this pain that fills me
My heart is safest when it belongs to only me

Great!

Oh-oh, under lock and key

Needed?

Like a message in a bottle
Lost on the seas
Forgotten and unseen
Living life in a waking dream
Unable to bear such an empty reality
But life loses meaning as you cling to fantasy
Disconnected from the world around you

maybe tie this one in to the one above?

I've kept my heart under lock and key
They don't know what they cannot see
Even when I fell apart again…
Yeah, I've kept my heart under lock and key
Been numb for far too long
I want to feel something inside
I need to feel alive
Oh, been under lock and key

I really like this part, but the last line bugs me.

the rest of the song is really great, something I would listen to!
