Monument

I’ve thrown away the key
The key to my heart
Or at least to the house I left it in
The house where I grew up
I tried to burn it down
Right to the ground
I tried but it won’t light
It just won’t light
I’d like to build something else
In its place
I’d like to build you a monument
Inside my chest
Something built to last
Something built to stand the test of time
I’d like to build something else
In its place
I’d like to build you a monument
Inside my chest
Something built to last
Something built to last
I’d like to build you an ocean
I’d like to build you a sky
I’d like to build you a monument
Inside my chest
