Key to My Heart
Unlocking Emotions: The Key to My Heart
Lyrics
Lonely hours, Lonely days,
Expressing a sense of isolation and solitude during certain periods.
Never meant to drive you away from me,
Acknowledging unintentional actions that led to the partner's departure.
I shoulda listened to ya lady and what you had to say, if only
Regretting not heeding the partner's advice and understanding her perspective.
I never knew how much you feel for somebody after you've let them go (let them go)
Reflecting on the depth of emotions for someone after letting them go.
And you find out that it's too late to let your feelings show (feelings show)
Realizing the regret when it's too late to express true feelings.
And even though I've done you so wrong
Acknowledging wrongdoing and the impact on the partner.
Don't you know, like I know, baby
Asserting a shared understanding of the situation.
You see you've got the key to my heart, girl
Conveying that the partner holds the emotional key to the singer's heart.
Unlock me and take all my feelings apart
Encouraging the partner to unlock the singer's emotions.
Cause when you said you had to leave, had to go away,
Recalling the moment when the partner decided to leave.
You closed the door on me; you threw away the key
Describing the partner's departure as closing the possibility of reconciliation.
I'm starting over, I'm feeling down,
Expressing a fresh start and a sense of sadness.
Still can't believe that you're not around.
Expressing disbelief and yearning for the absent partner.
I shoulda been there for you, baby
Expressing regret for not being supportive in the past.
But now I'm crying on this melody tonight
Describing the emotional impact through tears and music.
I didn't realize that there is no other remedy to end this pain (end this pain)
Acknowledging the absence of a solution to the pain.
But if you come back in my life then maybe I can start to live again (live again)
Expressing hope for a new beginning if the partner returns.
And even though you're being so strong
Acknowledging the partner's strength in dealing with the situation.
Don't you know, like I know, baby
Reiterating shared understanding of the situation.
You see you've got the key to my heart, key to my heart girl
Reemphasizing that the partner holds the emotional key.
Unlock me and take all my feelings apart
Encouraging the partner to unlock and understand the singer's feelings.
Cause when you said you had to leave, had to go away,
Recalling the moment of the partner's departure and the closing of emotional access.
You closed the door on me; you threw away the key
Describing the irreversible nature of the partner's decision.
And everyday and night I'm thinking about you constantly
Expressing constant thoughts about the absent partner.
Now I know for sure how much you really mean to me, yeah
Confirming the realization of the partner's significance.
Sometimes I get a rush and I see, how we were meant to be, lady
Experiencing moments of realization about the ideal relationship.
You see you've got the key to my heart, key to my heart girl
Reiterating the partner's role as the key to the singer's heart.
Unlock me and take all my feelings apart
Encouraging the partner to understand and unlock the singer's emotions.
Cause when you said you had to leave, had to go away,
Repeating the moment of departure and emotional closure.
You closed the door on me; you threw away the key
Highlighting the finality of the partner's decision to leave.
