I been walkin' through life with a bullet proof vest
|
Shielding emotions, acting like I couldn't care less
|
I kept love at a distance my defenses were loced and alert
|
Then you say hello and the next thing I know
|
I'm ready to risk being hurt
|
|
No more protecting my heart
|
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
|
I'm settin' my sails, tail winds prevail and I'm on my way
|
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
|
I wanna see what love has to offer me
|
I'm showin' all my cards
|
No more protecting my heart
|
|
I been guilty of sayin' no when I could have said yes
|
My heart's history, well it hasn't been the best
|
But this time I'm trusting in somebody other then me
|
I built the walls tall, now there gonna fall
|
Got no more secrets to keep
|
|
No more protecting my heart
|
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
|
I'm settin' my sails, tail winds prevail and I'm on my way
|
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
|
I wanna see what love has to offer me
|
I'm showin' all my cards
|
No more protecting my heart
|
|
I been waitin', hesitatin', treadin' water, tryin' to stay afloat
|
But now I'm headin' in the right direction finally filled with hope
|
No more protecting my heart
|
|
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
|
I wanna see what love has offer me
|
I'm showin' all my cards
|
|
No more protecting my heart
|
Baby, I'm ready to start
|
No more protecting my heart
|

No More Protecting My Heart
