There was a time, long ago,
When I was blind;
I saw nothing of the world,
Just pretty things I could take and hold,
Inclined to just run off. 
Never were the things I have in view,
Just everything I have to give;
I gave away my heart. 


No longer was I blind,
But all I came to see:
Lies. 
My lies. 
The bitter truth;
I could not hear. 

It was used and abused
Time and again
And each time I snatched it back,
Counting each touch
And each wound. 
It was tattered and worn,
But, alas, I still gave it away
And, now, inside this steel box it lay. 
None but one holds the key,
But, put simply, 
It is not me. 


The truth, I can hear
And it's a bittersweet melody 
And when it goes near,
I can feel;
The truth:
It's love.
