Nice prompt

Lyrics

You used a skeleton key
To work out every piece of me
You used a skeleton key
And then you broke me

You held the answers close
Unlocked things I’d never chosen
You held the answers close
You left me exposed
You had a skeleton key

You whispered secrets in the dark
Started working on my heart
You lit my life when it was dark
Then you tore me apart

You saw the cracks, exposed the lies
Made me look into your eyes
You took me by surprise
You left me bleeding there at sunrise
You used a skeleton key
Made me be me
You used a skeleton key

This is great and very well delivered. The idea that someone could use the key to do the damage of exposure/breaking/tearing is a great twist on the more positive concepts of opening up something. I like when you draw out some of the phrases to give more impact. well done.

Great lyrics and use of a metaphor. Not only is this melody catchy, the lyrics are too. A really entertaining song that I enjoyed immensely. Great vocal too.
