No More Protecting My Heart

[Verse 1:]
I been walkin' through life with a bulletproof vest
Shielding emotions
Acting like I couldn't care less
I kept love at a distance my defenses were locked & alert
Then you say hello
And the next thing I know I'm ready to risk being hurt

[Chorus:]
No more protecting my heart now darlin'
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
I'm setting my sails
Tail winds prevail and I'm on my way

You've got me letting my guard down, baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showing all my cards
No more protecting my heart

[Verse 2:]
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 they're gonna fall
Got no more secrets to keep

[Chorus:]
No more protecting my heart now darlin'
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
I'm setting my sails
Tail winds prevail and I'm on my way

You've got me letting my guard down, baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showing all my cards
No more protecting my heart

[Bridge:]
I been waiting, hesitating
Treading water, trying to stay afloat
But now I'm heading in the right direction
Finally filled with hope

No more protecting my heart

You've got me letting my guard down, baby
I wanna see what love has to offer me
I'm showing all my cards
No more protecting my heart
Baby, I'm ready to start
No more protecting my heart
