I could share my feelings with you but my heart has it’s limits,
Because a woman’s heart is a locked enchantment full of secrets.
You might be eager to delve into the unknown,
But who knows what I could remember once my cover is blown.

I’ve had so many people to guide me, show me whats right and wrong –
But no one’s ever shown me the way to feel like I belong.
When your young, your mind acts almost like a sponge..
Except the things you were taught won’t be able to soften your plunge.

Since the age of 11, I’ve kept my thoughts and feelings hidden,
I can’t recall what caused me to do this, I can’t be certain.
There’s so many aspects of myself that are still unclear to me,
But there will always be my heart under what you see.

So instead of trying to force your way in, just stop the pressure..
I can’t open up under your supervision, I’m not much of a confesser.
Give me time and my deepest thoughts will have nowhere else to go,
And that’s when you’ll realise there’s more to me than you know.
