MUSIC FOR SALE

My High School dates were hotties
And we shared some steamy nights.
Sometimes, there were rivalries,
And I would get in fights.
Then, one day, my true love came,
She changed my point of view
I vowed that my philandering days were through.
We were going steady, we'd already named the day
Then I had a Boys' Night Out and threw her trust away
Too much wine, an old flame, what seemed like harmless fun
'Til my intended found out what I'd done

I'm in a prison, with bars you cannot see
Nobody knows about the wall surrounding me
One foolish moment, a lifetime to repent
She locked my heart and threw away the key.

I tried to patch it up, but I'd wounded her too deep
My only hope was, given time, the hurt I caused might heal
But then I learned the dreaded truth
She'd found somebody new
And they'd be getting married pretty soon.

I'm in a prison, with bars you cannot see
Nobody knows about the wall surrounding me
One foolish moment, a lifetime to repent
She locked my heart and threw away the key.

Last night I tried to break the chains holding me
But it seems my heart just will not set me free, to start again
Felt like my body froze
Every time that we got close
Then my apology,
"Please don't take it personally"
"It isn't you, it's me,
I'm not the man I used to be"
She locked my heart and threw away the key
She locked my heart and threw away the key.
