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
