No More Protecting My Heart

I've been walking through life with a bullet-proof vest
Sheilding emotions, acting like I couldn't care less
I kept love at a distance
My defenses were locked and alert
Then you say 'hello' and the next thing I know
I'm ready to risk being hurt
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
I've been guilty of saying 'no' when I could've said 'yes'
My heart's history, well it hasn't been the best
But this time I'm trusting in somebody other than me
I've built the walls tall, now they're gonna fall
Got no more secrets to keep
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
I've been waitin'
Hesitatin'
Treadin' water, trying to stay afloat
But now I'm heading in the right direction
Finally filled with hope
No more protecting my heart
Yeah, 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
Baby, I'm ready to start
No more protecting my heart
Heart
No more protecting my heart
