Lyrics

When I met you I wasn't looking didn't know what I was doing
Just a rough-cut heart never knew how deep it was moving
Had my guard up high built like steel and stone
Didn't think I'd ever let somebody get that close
But you came in like a wildfire I couldn't control
Lit up parts of me I didn't even know
Should've seen the signs in the things you said
Every red flag waving in my head
I took my bulletproof off for you
Let you see every scar every truth
And you didn't hesitate didn't think it through
Took your shot at a heart that trusted you
Yeah I stayed when I should've run
Thought your darkness could be undone
But love don't fix what don't want healed
And I learned that the hard way
When I dropped my shield
You gave me every reason just to walk away
Let you drown in all the mess you made
But I stayed with a hope that cut me deep
Thinking one day you'd finally see me
Thought you'd wake up thought you'd change
Thought you'd fight for what we could've made
But everything else always came first
And I kept putting us last just to make it work
Yeah I built a life you never tried to hold
While I was giving you a heart of gold
I took my bulletproof off for you
Let you see every scar every truth
And you didn't hesitate didn't think it through
Took your shot at a heart that trusted you
Yeah I stayed when I should've run
Thought your darkness could be undone
But love don't fix what don't want healed
And I learned that the hard way
When I dropped my shield
Dangerous hope is a hell of a thing
Makes you blind to what it really brings
I was fighting for something you never chose
While you kept pulling me deeper below
Yeah I took my bulletproof off for you
Gave you everything I had to lose
And you showed me exactly what you'd do
When a good man trusts the wrong kind of truth
Yeah I stayed till there's nothing left
Gave my all and I gave my best
But I ain't the man that I used to be
I got my armor back on
And you don't get that piece of me
Yeah I wasn't looking
But I damn sure learned
