To Myself

Everybody has a story to tell

And I'd like to share mine with you

But my heart is kind of fragile

And I just can't imagine

It's something that I ought to do

And I realize

I'm still hurting deep inside

Where love used to live

So I keep myself

To myself

I don't want nobody to know me (I keep myself)

I keep myself

To myself

I don't want no lover to own me

My heart feels like its all broken up

In tiny pieces that I'll never find

And I know that I will heal someday

I will feel again

But it might take a little more time

And can't you see

I'm so insulated

No one's touchin' me

At least for now (at least for now)

So I keep myself

To myself

I don't want nobody to know me (I keep myself)

I keep myself

To myself

I don't want no lover to own me

Then in the shadows of yesterday

Only peace of mind is when I pray

That someday I can find a way back home

Until I'm ready (until I'm ready)

To love again (until I'm ready)

Until I'm ready (until I'm ready)

Until then

(I keep myself)

Then in the shadow of yesterday

Only peace of mind is when I pray

That somehow I would find a way

I keep myself

Then in the shadow of yesterday

Only peace of mind is when I pray

That somehow I would find a way

I keep myself

I keep myself

To myself

I keep myself

I keep myself

To myself
