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
