it's hard to find the right key for a door to the heart
and you can look in every empty hole in every pocket
while you wonder why anyone ever wanted to lock it
and you spent all night and day looking for the right key
but it never really seemed like you had the one it might be
a little too few and a little too fast
this one's too big and that one's too fat
none of these will fit into a little lock like that
stepped out for a minute, but of course you would wait
stepped back in and left a trail of tears
and left the door open and asked you to please come inside
the rain was pouring and you seemed like a real nice guy
then you took your first step forward
and you felt that strength
and you opened it slowly and put a hand inside
first you called in a warning
then you took a peek without using your eyes
then you told yourself that you had nowhere to hide
and there was something in there that you wanted to find
but there was nothing in there that you had in mind
you filled an empty hole in a falling home
and you've never been alone or felt anything so cold
you didn't make this decision all on your own
and you didn't bother to see if it was a heart you could hold
the first floor fell and you were there to catch it
the second floor fell and you were there to hatch it
the third floor fell and you didn't know if you could hold it
you wished the fourth floor would stay so you could walk away
but it hit you like a bullet and you were in a daze
and before you could recover you were there to stay
you will talk about your trouble and how this was a big mistake
and all you'll ever wonder was if you picked the right heart to break
