No more protecting my heart lyrics

Artist  : Jamie o`neal 
Song : No more protecting my heart
 

(Tim Nichols/Annie Roboff)

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
