Well-Protected Heart
True story, every word.
Well-Protected Heart – listen
by Geordie Keitt, 1999
-
She took a deep breath and then let it go,
Said, “I don’t know how to tell you this, so I guess I’ll just say it
I told you I loved you but I never did
Never liked your music, never wanted your kid”
She tore up my love like an old leather bootlace
Got a whole lotta baggage in the beautiful suitcase
-
(Chorus)
-
Now I got a well-protected heart
Now I got a well-protected heart
Now I see love and I don’t take part
Thanks so much for this well, this well-protected heart
-
Making up bedtime rhymes, brushing her hair
Making up lifetimes out of thin air
She didn’t meet my eyes but I didn’t care
I guess she didn’t want me looking into
Them stained-glass windows at a soul much deeper blue, deeper blue
-
(Chorus)
-
Now I got a well-protected heart
Now I got a well-protected heart
Now I see love and I don’t take part
Thanks so much for this well, this well-protected heart
-
(Bridge)
-
My baby gave me this well-protected heart
My baby gave me this well-protected heart
My baby gave me this well-protected heart
-
(Final Chorus / outro)
-
My insulation makes me sad sometimes
Well, thanks so much for this well, this well-protected heart
