I Stayed Unprotected

I Stayed Unprotected - Aliza

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
