	Story Behind the Song The centre of this song is in the lines I am no longer in control and You can do what you choose to do. The conflicting and contradictory feelings in this song arise from the knowledge that emotions are not always rational. Head and heart are at odds with each other, and on this occasion, the heart wins. All the head can do is give in gracefully, abdicate responsibility to the heart, and hope that things work out. A song of powerlessness, resignation and acceptance - but not hopelessness. Lyrics There are things I can't say to you I can't be what you want me to I would love to just walk away But you know I'd come back anyway Your smile is like a ray of sun You mean more to me than anyone There is no-one else who penetrates All the barriers that I create I was looking for the missing piece Someone who could make my life complete Someone to share everything Someone to heal my broken wings I keep my heart buried underground In a place where it can't be found In a box with no lock or key So that no-one can get to me I've been hurt more times than I can say Which is why I hid my heart away There was no-one who took the time To understand what was in my mind I don't know why you knocked on my door I know I'm not what you're looking for But you turned the light on anyway And you showed me another way. You always know where to find Everything I keep locked inside There is nothing that you don't see All the secrets inside of me And now my heart belongs to you You can do what you choose to do I am no longer in control Since you found where I hide my soul I can't live in a hidden place Where I never would see your face There are chains that bind me to you You can do what you choose to do You can make my spirit fly Or you can make me feel I want to die You have my whole of me in your hand I just want you to understand
