It's about the fear that we all possess of giving our love to someone new
I'm so afraid
He stole something of mine
I held it close for so long
And only a few have ever gotten to know me well enough to see it
I kept it hidden away so no one could ever hurt it

Once I almost let someone have it
And he nearly broke it
But I dove for it and caught it
Before it hit the ground and shattered

And now it's gone
No, not gone, just not mine alone
I'm sharing it and he doesn't even know

I thought I was in control
But then I stood back for a moment
And when I tried to find it I couldn't
It isn't in my possesion any more

Please don't break it
Don't let it shatter
If you don't know what to do with it, don't leave it somewhere
Collecting dust

Give it back
Let me keep it safe again

Why couldn't I have watched more carefully?

I could have stopped it

But I didn't

I forgot how to stay ahead of the game

And now my heart is somewhere out there

With him

Until he doesn't want it anymore
