Closed the gates (to him)

De Agnes Pihlava

I gave my heart to a stranger
Who painted it black without asking me
Might not even see the shades I mean
When you look from afar

Everything is gone,
I'm hopelessly lost
I'm ready to give up it all without fighting
I see smiling people

I close the gates and hide for a day
Let all the talk just flow away
I find the silence touching me
Like a frozen winter flower
I'm standing and walking
Now I know I am
Finally proud to be me
I am a treasure you no longer need

I see you now whenever I close my eyes
Like a cold white lie, colorless shades of the night
I've lost my trust in the human kindness
How can you live with no heart

With bright blue eyes, I raise the sail
And all my fears will fade away
I've had the bitter along the sweet
The taste of being unwanted
I'm shaking and holding
Back the tears of relief
Hoping no one will see
You are a burden I no longer need

I see you now whenever I close my eyes
Like a cold white lie, colorless shades of the night
I've lost my trust in the human kindness
How can you live with no heart

You opened my eyes
You showed me the way
I'm closer to heaven
Now and every day
And you think I obey you
But I am my own woman
You will not just take me
You cannot erase me

You lived in a sweet illusion
"I'm yours forever"
Never again open arms for you
Closed the gates
Behind me and walked away

I see you now whenever I close my eyes
Like a cold white lie, colorless shades of the night
I've lost my trust in the human kindness
How can you live when you
Stole my trust in human kindness
How can you live with no heart
