No More Protecting My Heart
Unveiling Love's Armor: Jamie O'Neal's Journey to Openness
Lyrics
I been walkin' through life with a bullet proof vest
I have been navigating life with emotional protection.
Shielding emotions,acting like I couldn't care less
Concealing feelings, pretending not to care.
I kept love at a distance my defenses were loced and alert
Love was kept at a distance, defenses were strong and vigilant.
Then you say hello and the next thing I know
Upon your greeting, unexpectedly, I am willing to risk emotional pain.
I'm ready to risk being hurt
Ready to face the possibility of getting hurt.
No more protecting my heart
No more protecting my heart.
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
My soul is now free from darkness.
I'm settin' my sails,tail winds prevail and I'm on my way
I am setting sail towards a positive direction.
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
Allowing myself to be vulnerable with you.
I want to see what love has to offer me
Curious to discover what love can offer me.
I'm showin' all my cards
Revealing all my emotions and intentions.
No more protecting my heart
No more guarding my heart.
I been guilty of sayin' no when I could have said yes
Admitting guilt for rejecting opportunities for love.
My heart's history,well it hasn't been the best
Acknowledging a history of unsuccessful romantic relationships.
But this time I'm trusting in somebody other then me
This time, putting trust in someone other than myself.
I built the walls tall,now there gonna fall
Having built emotional walls that are now crumbling down.
Got no more secrets to keep
No more hidden secrets to keep.
No more protecting my heart
No more shielding my heart.
My soul is out of the dark now yes it is
My soul is now free from darkness.
I'm settin' my sails,tail winds prevail and I'm on my way
Embarking on a positive journey with favorable winds.
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
Allowing myself to be vulnerable with you.
I want to see what love has to offer me
Curious to discover what love can offer me.
I'm showin' all my cards
Revealing all my emotions and intentions.
No more protecting my heart
No more guarding my heart.
I been waitin',hesitatin',treadin' water,tryin' to stay afloat
I have been waiting, hesitating, struggling to stay afloat.
But now I'm headin' in the right direction finally filled with hope
Now heading in a positive direction, filled with hope.
No more protecting my heart
No more protecting my heart.
You've got me lettin' my guard down baby
Allowing myself to be vulnerable with you.
I want to see what love has offer me
Curious to discover what love can offer me.
I'm showin' all my cards
Revealing all my emotions and intentions.
No more protecting my heart
No more shielding my heart.
Baby,I'm ready to start
Expressing readiness to start anew.
No more protecting my heart
No more guarding my heart.
