I_Stayed_Unprotected

[00:09.24][Verse 1]
[00:10.94]I shouldn't know
[00:13.50]I let you see the quiet parts
[00:16.92]The fragile corners of my heart
[00:19.85]No armor on walls to climb
[00:23.19]Just open doors and all my time
[00:29.96]You said you loved the way I cared
[00:33.35]The way I always stayed right there
[00:36.84]But love like mine was easy ground
[00:40.07]For someone not sticking around
[00:43.50]I didn't guard my feelings
[00:47.07]Didn't hide my scars
[00:50.67]I gave you every piece of me
[00:53.64]Without a shield or bars
[00:56.36][Chorus]
[00:57.39]I stayed unprotected
[01:00.42]With my heart in your hands
[01:04.34]Didn't think you'd drop it
[01:07.73]Didn't think you'd run
[01:11.09]I believed your promises
[01:14.45]Like they were true
[01:17.70]But I was wide open
[01:21.06]When I fell for you
[01:24.15]Yeah, I stayed unprotected
[01:27.59]Didn't play it safe
[01:31.29]Let you see the tears I couldn't hide on my face
[01:37.95]And now I'm picking up
[01:41.28]What you left behind
[01:44.45]'Cause I stayed unprotected
[01:47.79]One too many times
[01:50.31][Verse 2]
[01:53.96]I told you things I never said
[01:57.71]Let you inside my head
[02:00.68]You knew the places I would break
[02:04.07]And still you chose to walk away
[02:07.89]I thought that honesty was strong
[02:10.80]That loving hard could never be wrong
[02:16.29]But some hearts don't know what to do
[02:21.36]With something soft and true
[02:25.13]I should've kept some distance
[02:28.53]Should've drawn a line
[02:32.09]But loving means feelings
[02:41.55]And that cost me mine
[02:43.59][Chorus]
[02:43.80]I stayed unprotected
[02:51.84]With my heart in your hands
[02:55.59]Didn't think you'd drop it
[02:58.97]Didn't think you'd run
[03:02.52]I believed your promises
[03:05.90]Like they were true
[03:10.16]But I was wide open
[03:15.44]When I fell for you
[03:21.95]Yeah, I stayed unprotected
[03:26.40]Didn't play it safe
[03:32.12]Let you see the tears I couldn't hide on my face
[03:37.94]And now I'm picking up
[03:38.43]What you left behind
[03:38.96]'Cause I stayed unprotected
[03:39.90]One too many times
[03:40.34][Bridge]
[03:41.06]And maybe loving open-hearted
[03:41.61]Was never my mistake
[03:42.15]Maybe the wrong part was a love you couldn't take
[03:43.13]I won't close my heart forever
[03:43.83]Just because you left
[03:44.34]I'd rather feel it all and live with nothing left
[03:45.33][Outro]
[03:45.56]I stayed unprotected
[03:48.41]But I'm still here
[03:48.87]Still learning how to love
[03:49.40]Without the fear
[03:49.77]And even if it hurts
[03:50.66]I won't pretend
[03:51.09]That I regret the heart I let you win
[03:52.13]Yeah, I stayed unprotected
[03:55.08]But I survived
[03:55.43]And there's still a light
[03:56.06]Burning inside
[03:56.43]Like some of my love
[03:59.18]A love just as true
[03:59.81]But I won't lose myself
[04:00.38]Trying to hold you
[04:02.52]I stayed unprotected
[04:03.06]Yeah
[04:10.13]But I'm still standing
