[Verse 1]
All it takes is one break
A tiny little mistake
A chip inside your walls
And now you'll never love the same
I know I'm overcautious
But if I'm bein' honest
I end up second guessing everything and thinking
Maybe they'll be different than the last
But I won't repeat the past
It's hard to keep a guard up
When your heart gets too attached

[Chorus]
So I put all my armor
One piece at a time
Helmet for the drama
Keeps me out of sight
Shield around my heart
So I don't brеak it twice
'Cause I ain't going down again without a fight
It happenеd to me once
Just the other night
When I saw her dancing with another guy
I put on all my armor
Try my best to hide
I'm scared to fall in love
And I don't know why
[Verse 2]
A look inside her eyes
Could drown a million dreams
A billion little futures that you never get to see
Oh, I despise the way I patronize my mind, it's utter tyranny
To try to fight the lie that I just made myself believe
It's sad
To play yourself like that
It's hard to keep a guard up
When your heart gets too attached

[Chorus]
So I put all my armor
One piece at a time
Helmet for the drama
Keeps me out of sight
Shield around my heart
So I don't break it twice
'Cause I ain't going down again without a fight
It happened to me once
Just the other night
When I saw her dancing with another guy
I put on all my armor
Try my best to hide
I'm scared to fall in love
And I don't know why
[Bridge]
It's hard
The castle that I built to want it with the few
Raising a toast
To all the guests that got me here
I hear 'em loud and clear

[Chorus]
So I put all my armor
One piece at a time
Helmet for the drama
Keeps me out of sight
Shield around my heart
So I don't break it twice
'Cause I ain't going down again without a fight
It happened to me once
Just the other night
When I saw her dancing with another guy
I put on all my armor
Try my best to hide
I'm scared to fall in love
And I don't know why
