No More Protecting My Heart Lyrics - Shiver - Jamie O'neal

I've 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 locked and alert 

Then you say hello and the next thing I know 

I'm ready to risk bein' hurt 

No more protectin' my heart now, darlin' 

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 protectin' my heart 

I've 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 trustin' 

In somebody other then me 

I built the walls tall, now they're gonna fall 

Got no more secrets to keep 

No more protectin' my heart now, darlin' 

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 protectin' my heart 

I've been waitin', hesitatin' 

Treadin' water, tryin' to stay afloat 

But now I'm headin' in the right direction 

Finally filled with hope 

No more protectin' my heart 

Hey 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 protectin' my 

Baby, I'm ready to start 

No more protectin' my heart, ohh 

No more protectin' my heart
