I'll give you a key to a magical box,
But I'm not going to tell you how it unlocks,
It's padlocked and lined inside with lead,
With wires controlling the thoughts in my head.
So cherish it dearly with all your heart,
To solve the puzzle that's the start,
I'm counting on you, don't let me down,
To be my saviour and not my clown.
Many have tried but few succeeded,
They couldn't give me what I needed,
With only words of love for me,
Not backed by actions that I could see.
Please be the one to finally win,
To crack the code that will let you in,
The journey's hard and can be long,
But it's worth the wait if you can stay strong.
Once you've found the secret of the lock,
The key will turn and with a gentle knock,
The lid of the box will slowly part,
And lying inside is my tender heart.
