Dont you come around my house, my house
With your flowers in hand saying that you missed me
I dont really care that you never felt scared
Or so close to anyone else until you kissed meI have heard that line before
The dick who said it ended up walking out my door
(So dont take it personal)But I gotta protect my heart
Cause if I let you in I might fall for you and break again
I been building up these walls for far too
Long to have em crumble down now
Boy, dont even start
Cause Im gonna protect my heartDont go talkin bout my life, my life
Saying youre gonna stick around when I know youre gonna leave
Dont you dare stand there with that look on your face
Like youre in love with me, if you want me to believeAnd Im sorry if you think Im bitchy and cold
But being warm and getting burned was getting so-oh old
(Baby, its not your fault)But I gotta protect my heart
Cause if I let you in I might fall for you and break again
I been building up these walls for far too
Long to have em crumble down now
Boy, dont even start
Cause Im gonna protect my heartAnd Im keeping you, keeping you there, at arms length
Keeping you, keeping you there, just far enough away
Keeping you, keeping you there, away from my heart
Keeping you, keeping you there, dont you even startI had a boy who was dangerous
W-walked on me and my heart was crushed
He was cool, he was fly, he was so damn fine
And I let him come in and take all of mine
But I cant let you roll like that
Ill cut that shit off just like snap
If you gimme one sniff that you actin up
I do what I gotta do to protect my heartI gotta protect my heart
Cause if I let you in I might fall for you and break again
I been building up these walls for far too
Long to have em crumble down now
Boy, dont even start
Cause Im gonna protect my heart
