no more protecting my heart

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
