I want to learn to love again,
but in the past all it's brought is pain.
Plenty of heartache, tears as well,
when eventually in love I fell.

The words that once scared me I finally spoke,
only to find myself with my heart broke.
Picking up the pieces my heart I try and heal,
wondering if I deserve this pain that I feel?

A barrier now stands between love and I,
people say I'll love again but I'm too scared to try.
So now I'll shelter myself from pain,
never losing the desire to learn to love again.

From now on number one's who I'll look out for,
I won't let them hurt me anymore.
No one can break through this wall I have built,
nor will my strength and determination ever begin to wilt.

Inside I am broken and long for someone to hold,
but I don't want to be hurt again so no one will ever be told.
I'll keep it to myself that I'm hurting inside,
as behind my smile my pain I'll hide.

Perhaps one day I'll let down my guard,
but at the moment it would be too hard.
To put myself through even more pain,
but I know one of these days I'll TRY TO LOVE AGAIN?!?
