I should've known
I let you see the quiet parts
The fragile corners of my heart
No Armour on no walls to climb
Just open doors and all my time
You said you loved the way I cared
The way I always stayed right there
But love like mine was easy ground
For someone not sticking around
I didn't guard my feelings didn't hide my scars
I gave you every piece of me without a shield or bars
I stayed unprotected with my heart in your hands
Didn't think you'd drop it
Didn't think you'd run
I believed your promises like they were true but
I was wide open when I fell for you
Yeah I stayed unprotected
Didn't play it safe
Let you see the tears I couldn't hide on my face
And now I'm picking up what you left behind
'Cause I stayed unprotected
One too many times
I told you things I never said
Let you inside my head
You knew the places I would break
But still you chose to walk away
I thought that honesty was strong
But loving heart could never be wrong
But some hearts don't know what to do
A song unsought and true
I should've kept some distance
Should've drawn the line
But love made me fearless
And that cost me mine
I stayed on crusade with my heart in your hands
Didn't think you'd drop it
Didn't think you'd run
I believe your promises like they were true but
I was wide open when I fell for you
Yeah I stayed on protected didn't play it safe
Lacing the tears I couldn't hide on my face
And now I'm picking up what you left behind
'Cause I stayed unprotected one too many times
Maybe loving openly was never my mistake
Maybe the wrong part was the love you couldn't take
I won't close my heart forever just because you left
I'd rather feel it all and live with nothing left
I stayed unprotected
But I'm still here
Still learning how to love without the fear
And even if it hurt
I won't pretend
That I regret the heart I let you in
You say you're protected but I survived
And there's still light burning inside
Rain like summer love
Love just as true
But I won't lose my soul
Trying to hold you
I stayed unprotected
But I'm still standing
