I'd been hurt by a whirlwind before
And I put up my walls cause of where I'd been
I'd spend the night with an eye on the door
But you patiently waited til I started letting you in
I had tried to stay protected
Unaffected
Playing it safe
But you told me you understood
I would put up my defenses
Lose my senses
That was the old me
How you would hold me
Finally told me
You're here for good
You loved me til I couldn't let you go
Held me as I learned to breathe and count to ten
Other guys had only stopped my heart
Left it bruised and torn apart
Now my heart can finally beat again
My heart can beat again
There were times when it seemed like too much
Like a panic was starting to build inside
Then I learned all it takes is your touch
It reminds me I'm safe in your arms, and I don't have to hide
I had tried to stay protected
Unaffected
Playing it safe
But you told me you understood
I would put up my defenses
Lose my senses
That was the old me
How you would hold me
Finally told me
You're here for good
You loved me til I couldn't let you go
Held me as I learned to breathe and count to ten
Other guys had only stopped my heart
Left it bruised and torn apart
Now my heart can finally beat again
You pulled me through
And I hope you know
I'll be there too
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
I won't let go
