A Man with Love in His Heart

Gatekeeper

I am a gatekeeper
I locked my heart away
Along with the memories
Of praying that you'd stay

But you walked out the door
With me lies the blame
I brought you dishonor
With heartache and shame

Now you're with someone new
And I'm stuck in a rut
Things will never be the same
I know it in my gut

But maybe it's for the better
I'm far less than you deserve
You were perfect for me
And I got on your nerves

We fell apart so slowly
We tore each other at the seams
Even though it's been years
I can't help but have dreams

I dream of you every night
I tend to torture myself
I hold your pictures in my hands
Then put them on the shelf

I can't stop loving you
Despite it being so wrong
You're happier with him
And I can't even be strong

I've lost all my strength
Because you were my all
I was so great and grand
Oh how the mighty fall

What once was a bright future
Has turned to ash and dust
You once had love for me
Now all that's left is disgust

Now you're the gatekeeper
I never took back my heart
Maybe there's a future for us
Where we can have a restart
