Lockin' Up My Heart
Guarding My Heart: A Tale of Love's Misery
Lyrics
I'm puttin' up my guard
I am erecting barriers to protect myself emotionally.
I'm lockin' up my heart
I am securing my emotions and not allowing love in.
Tellin' Cupid to pass by me
Telling Cupid, the symbol of love, to stay away from me.
'Cause all love ever brought me was misery
Reflecting on the past experiences, where love only brought pain.
Hello loneliness, goodbye love
Addressing loneliness and bidding farewell to love.
I'm tired of being abused and being misused
Expressing fatigue from being mistreated and taken advantage of.
I've had my share of romance, no more for me
Having experienced enough romance, deciding to abstain from it.
I'm lockin' up my heart and throwin' away the key
Symbolically locking away the heart and abandoning the possibility of love.
Lockin' up (lockin' up, lockin' up)
Reiterating the intention to lock up emotions.
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (throw away the key)
Emphasizing the commitment to discard any chance of love.
I'm lockin' up (lockin' up)
Repeating the act of locking up emotions due to past misery.
'Cause all love ever brought me was misery
Summarizing that love has only brought unhappiness.
I don't want (don't want) nobody to love me
Expressing a desire to be left alone without romantic entanglements.
Leave me alone and let me be lonely
Preferring solitude to avoid emotional complications.
This way I'll know just where I stand
Choosing loneliness as a way to have clarity in relationships.
I'll never have to worry about love again
Ensuring freedom from worrying about love in the future.
Lockin' up (lockin' up, lockin' up)
Reaffirming the decision to lock up emotions tightly.
Said I'm gonna throw away the key (throw away the key)
Stating the intention to discard any possibility of love permanently.
I'm gonna save myself from all this misery
Committing to saving oneself from the pain associated with love.
Lockin' up (lockin' up, lockin' up)
Repeating the act of locking up emotions to avoid misery.
Said I'm gonna throw away the key
Emphasizing the determination to throw away the key and be free from love.
I'm lockin' up (lockin' up my heart)
Reiterating the act of locking up the heart to protect from love.
I'm lockin' up (lockin' up my heart)
Repeating the commitment to keep emotions locked up.
Yeah yeah yeah (lockin' up my heart)
Reinforcing the decision to lock up the heart, expressed with emphasis.
Yeah yeah yeah (lockin' up my heart)
-Yeah yeah yeah (lockin' up my heart)
-Yeah yeah yeah (lockin' up my heart)
-Yeah yeah yeah (lockin' up my heart)
