Verse 1
I thought my heart had gone cold,
Like something precious got lost or sold,
But every time I listened in,
I felt the weight of what was held within.
Not empty, not apart—
Just a door pressed shut from the heart.
Chorus
There’s a great love locked in me,
Not gone, just guarded carefully,
Not afraid of being real—
Afraid of being felt too deeply.
It didn’t fade, it didn’t end,
It learned how to fold itself in.
Verse 2
I tried to open, tried to force,
Tried kindness, tried remorse,
But the tighter that I tried to pry,
The more it pulled itself inside.
Then I stopped and let it be,
And felt how strong it had to be.
Chorus
There’s a great love locked in me,
Held by walls of history,
Not broken, not denied—
Just waiting for a softer tide.
It doesn’t need a key or sign,
Just time without a deadline.
Bridge
Protection isn’t proof of fear,
It’s how love survived staying here,
If I don’t rush it to appear,
It knows when it’s safe and clear.
Final Chorus
There’s a great love locked in me,
Opening slowly, naturally,
Not because I made it move—
Because I stopped demanding proof.
When the lock no longer has to fight,
Love remembers how to light.
Outro
Not missing.
Not small.
Just held.
