Under Lock and Key
Unlocking Hearts: Embracing Change and Redemption
Lyrics
You've got to stop fucking her up
You need to stop causing harm or distress to her
You've got to grow up
You need to mature and take responsibility
You've got to stop making her cry
You must cease making her cry
She thinks you want to and you know she's right
She believes you intend to hurt her, and you know she's correct
You're showing a side that you don't like
You're displaying an aspect of yourself that you dislike
You've got to trust what she feels is there
Believe in her emotions without needing visible proof
And not need to see it
Don't require confirmation; trust her instincts
You've got to let her do what she wants with this secret
Allow her the autonomy to handle a secret as she wishes
You've got to say sorry, then not undo it
Apologize genuinely and refrain from undoing it afterward
You've got to let go
Release your hold or control
If not in your heart
Even if not felt sincerely, externally demonstrate release
Then in what you show
Initiate actions that signify letting go
And in what you start
Begin anew
If you love her like you say
If your love is genuine
You won't do again what you did today
Avoid repeating the hurtful actions of today
She wouldn't even let you brush a tear away
She's resistant even to your comforting gestures
You won't push and push until she breaks
Don’t relentlessly pressure her until she breaks
It cannot be, and you've got to accept it
Accept the impossibility of the situation
Stop being so weak
Stop displaying weakness
Stop being so selfish
Stop acting selfishly
You can want all you like
You can desire all you want
Still you won't be getting
However, you won't receive what you desire
When she said you were cruel, boy, she wasn't kidding
Her statement about your cruelty wasn’t an exaggeration
No matter how fierce the flames may be
No matter the intensity of emotions, restrain your own
You've got to keep your feelings under lock and key
Keep your emotions guarded and hidden
The last thing you want is to feel her withdraw
Avoid causing her to distance herself
Do yourself a favour: start thinking of her
Start prioritizing her in your thoughts and actions
