The Key Lyrics by Illanoise

Revenge of the Nerd

2016

[Verse 1: Illanoise]
It's been a while since I've been feeling this way
Didn't think it was possible for this feeling to stay
Got used to feeling in pain till I didn't feel it no more
Inside of my brain, felt like I was fighting a war
My heart was citing the truth, I didn't know what to do
I was fighting a battle, I had nothing to lose
Well except for my heart, it was swollen and bruised
For it to begin to heal, it had to go in a cocoon
Locked it inside of a room, threw away the key
No one could set it free, I had to let it be (Let it be)
We grew apart, got used to having no heart
Practiced my art, but it was lacking that spark
It had all the bars, had all the punch lines, but the one thing missing was from mе, to want life
For a while I was breathing no rеason, just hopeless
I just need you to know, you're the reason I wrote this
[Chorus: Illanoise]
Let's not make this complicated
Got a lot on my mind and I got to say it
Had my heart on lock but you found the key
This is the truth, to you from me
I know the reality and I got to face it
I hope you're not mad at me, I just can't fake it
Had my heart on lock but you found the key
I just can't change what you mean to me, aye
[Verse 2: Illanoise]
I knew it, from the moment I met you
There was something different 'bout you, you were born in a test tube
I'm not tryna upset you, girl that is a promise
To be honest you astonish me constantly and to me you're a goddess
Things we have in common are the oddest, in fact it's gotta be symbolic I found you, the key in your hands
I try to meet your demands but you see me as a man
Just know I'll be there for you, even as friends
It feels like destiny when you are next to be
Energy ecstasy, not even sexually
You're like the missing ingredient to an excellent recipe
The cure to the deadly epidemic that is effecting me
This has happened so quick, I'm embarrassed by it
Not because of you, because of me 'cause here as I sit
I know someone else holds the key to your heart, and if I tried to reach for it it would tear you apart
[Chorus: Illanoise]
Let's not make this complicated
Got a lot on my mind and I got to say it
Had my heart on lock but you found the key
This is the truth, to you from me
I know the reality and I got to face it
I hope you're not mad at me, I just can't fake it
Had my heart on lock but you found the key
I just can't change what you mean to me, aye
[Verse 3: Illanoise]
I'm glad you heard me out, I'm glad you're there to listen
I'm glad that in the middle I didn't burn any bridges
I didn't wanna put you in a difficult position
With feelings admitted, I don't even see a difference
I know it's rough for you, 'cause it's rough for me
I didn't lose you though, luckily
'Cause if that happened it would be a disaster
And to be honest I wouldn't know what to do after
My key you did capture but your feelings do matter
When I'm around you my heart beats a little faster
But I'ma throw my heart back in the box
Wrap it in chains, fastened with locks
No matter how hard it tries, I won't let it break out
Even if it eats me alive it won't make it out
I know the situation is very unusual, but in my mind I just can't picture losing you
[Chorus: Illanoise]
Let's not make this complicated
Got a lot on my mind and I got to say it
Had my heart on lock but you found the key
This is the truth, to you from me
I know the reality and I got to face it
I hope you're not mad at me, I just can't fake it
Had my heart on lock but you found the key
I just can't change what you mean to me, aye
[Outro: Illanoise]
Aye, I just can't change what you mean to me
Aye, aye, I just can't change what you mean to me
Aye, aye, I just can't change what you mean to me
Aye, aye, I just can't change what you mean to me
Aye, aye, I just can't change what you mean to me
Aye, aye
