[Verse 1]
What are you trying to hide?
You won't let me inside
The fear's only in your mind
I can see it in your eyes

[Bridge]
And I try to get through to you
But I don't know what to do
You're making it hard
To get to your heart
And it seems these days
That everybody wears
A bullet proof vest

[Chorus]
If love is a blank dart
Shot from a heart-shaped gun
It only hurts you
When you try to turn and run
When will you see
That you don't need
A bullet proof vest?

[Verse 2]
Please take it off for me
I won't shoot
I'll let you breathe
I want to feel you feeling me
Oh, baby, love?
Don't bleed?
[Bridge]
And I try to get through to you
I don't know what to do
You're making it hard
To get to your heart
And it seems these days
That everybody wears
A bullet proof vest

[Chorus][x2]
