Does a scarred heart ever heal
Will it ever take the down the guard and learn to love and feel
Or will it remain forever locked in paranoia
Fighting the butterflies and denying the feelings forever

Is the paranoid heart the one with the most sense
Does it have a genuine reason for putting up defense
Does it realize in love there's nothing but pain
Does it sense that in trusting your heart there is nothing to gain

But oh how it misses the feelings of stupidity
To believe in fairytales like Sleeping Beauty
But the paranoid heart knows it cannot act on those butterflies
For the flutterings will be destroyed by the hurt and the lies

What if thee is such a thing as honesty
Does the paranoid heart shut out a chance to be truly happy
Will there be content in pasting a fake smile and never trusting your feelings completely
Oh how the paranoid heart misses it's innocent security
When love was just beyond the path
And when it maintained the beliefs that dreams came true and feelings last

But the paranoid heart remains locked in a cage
And look out at those who believe in love and be amazed
For try as the paranoid heart might
It just can't let down the guard and put up the fight

For everytime the wings of the butterfly flutter
The paranoid heart gets scared and runs for shelter
So once again the paranoid heart accepts defeat
And ignore the emotions that runs through it with each beat
