Analysis of Why Did You Shut Me Out of Your Heart
Why did you shut me out of your heart,
Is it because I kissed you so loudly?
If you let me, I could kiss you silently.
If you let me, I could love you less
Like a butterfly.
Why did you shut me out of your heart,
Is it because I said so loudly that I love you?
If you let me, I could be quieter,
As shy as a nightingale!
Please don’t shut the door
of your Heart!
And please don’t let
me go deep into hell.
