Original lyrics
ENI've been walking on the edges of my own fears
Telling myself I'm stronger after all these years
But then you came like sunrise on a sleepless night
Soft enough to calm me, bright enough to fight the fright
Every step you take pulls me out of the dark
But I still flinch when you reach for my heart
It's not you–it's the ghosts I'm carrying around
Still learning how to trust new ground
My heart's open, but the armor's on
Trying to believe this time I won't fall wrong
You say love doesn't have to hurt to feel strong
But I'm still learning how to let you in, hold on
Yeah, my heart's open, but the armor's on
You're patient with the silence that I can't explain
Tracing all the places where I've felt the pain
You don't rush the walls I built from endless nights
You just stay and light them up with quiet light
Every word you speak feels like something real
Still I hesitate with the way I feel
It's not doubt, it's the wounds that haven't fully healed
But I'm trying hard to lower the shield
My heart's open, but the armor's on
Trying to believe this time I won't fall wrong
You say love doesn't have to hurt to feel strong
But I'm still learning how to let you in, hold on
Yeah, my heart's open, but the armor's on
If I give you the key, will you guard it with care?
If I show you the cracks, will you still want me there?
I'm scared of the fall, but I'm tired of the fear
So hold my hand, walk with me near
My heart's open, and the armor's gone
You proved to me this love can feel safe and strong
I finally learned I don't have to face it alone
Now I'm letting you in, this is where we belong
Yeah, my heart's open, the armor's gone
