"I Gave You My Keys" lyrics

"I Gave You My Keys"

I gave you my keys to all I had
You were my deity, you ruled my world
Ruled my earth, ruled my sky
How could you hurt me so bad, so bad?
You bruised my bones
I'm not a soldier
I'm not used to seeing wounds like these
Gave you my keys
You let yourself in
And made yourself right at home
I bought all your clothes
I made all your food
I let you drive my car
You got the latest games
And I made sure you felt like number one

I don't think we're connected
I don't feel respected
I don't think you know what you really want
You say you want affection
But when I put my arms around you
I feel you're somewhere else

I gave you my keys
The master keys
The keys to unlock every single door that I have in my heart

You like that makes me like this
You like that makes me like this
You like that makes me like this
You like that makes me like this
I gave you my keys, the master keys
You like that makes me like this
The keys to unlock every single door that I have in my heart
You like that makes me like this

I gave you my keys to all I have
And now you're turning your back on me
You said I was mean
You said I was cruel
You don't know the meaning of words or deeds
How can you say that I'm the villain
When it's you that's killing all the love?
Gave you my keys
You let yourself in
And made yourself right at home

If I knew then what I know now
I'd run one hundred miles
How you are these days
That makes me act like some crazy mixed-up fool

Don't think we're connected
I don't feel respected
I don't think you know what you really want
You say you want affection
But when I put my arms around you
I feel you're somewhere else

I gave you my keys
The master keys
The keys to unlock every single door that I have in my heart

You like that makes me like this
I gave you my keys, the master keys
You like that makes me like this
The keys to unlock every single door that I have in my heart
You like that makes me like this
I gave you my keys, the master keys
You like that makes me like this
The keys to unlock every single door that I have in my heart
You like that makes me like this
You like that makes me like this
