I should've known
I'd let you see the quiet parts
The fragile corners of my heart
No armor on 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
A 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've never said
Let you inside my head
You moved to places I would break
And still you chose to walk away
I thought that honesty was strong
That loving hard could never be wrong
But some hearts don't know what to do
With something soft and true
I should've kept some distance
Should've drawn a line
But loving means feelings
And that cost me mine
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
I stayed unprotected
Yeah
I stayed unprotected
