Heavy Guarded Heart

I got daddy issues
Please do not give up on me if I do dismiss you
'Cause I will dismiss you, so used to being misused
Ain't got time for drama, so I DND my mental

But I still want love though, somebody to cuddle
A place to feel safe in this industry so cut-throat
But I've been observing, no, really I've been learning
Too afraid to love 'cause I'm a witness to the hurting

Ain't got no time for hurting, still not really healing
Don't got time for players, that's the way that I've been feeling
But I cannot act like when I'm laying at night
I don't want somebody there to tell me that I'm alright

Heavy guarded heart
If he really wants this, he'll try hard
Filter the facades
Fade away the phonies and the frauds
If he's really the one (if he's really the one)
He will make sure he never gives up
In time, I'll open up and share with him my love (share with him my love)
Until then, there's no man that I trust
Heavy guarded heart

I'ma say I miss you (yeah, you know I did)
Please do not get confused when I seem to diss you
I'm not tryna piss you, I'm just tryna please you
Cater to your lead, and still see you as an equal

I'm prideful, I'll admit that, but I love hard
Soon enough my pride will be broken down, I promise
It's gon' take some time, seen a woman all my life
Triumph through the trife of a guy, and I'm sorry
I see you in his image, so please do replenish
My perspective of men and all my harsh opinions

Heavy guarded heart
If he really wants this, he'll try hard
Filter the facades
Fade away the phonies and the frauds
If he's really the one (if he's really the one)
He will make sure he never gives up
In time, I'll open up and share with him my love (share with him my love)
Then I know that he's one I can trust
Heavy guarded heart

(Heavy guarded heart)
When the duty calls, who'd break down my walls?
(Heavy guarded heart)
Overlook my faults, who's down for the job?
(Heavy guarded heart)
Who's got the key to free me?
(Heavy guarded heart)
When the duty calls, who'll break down my walls?

Heavy guarded heart
If he really wants this, he'll try hard
Filter the facades
Fade away the phonies and the frauds
If he's really the one (if he's really the one for me)
He will make sure he never gives up
In time, I'll open up and share with him my love (my love)
Until then, there's no man that I trust
Heavy guarded heart

If he really wants this, he'll try hard
Filter the facades (filter the facades)
Fade away the phonies and the frauds
If he's really the one (if he's really the one)
He will make sure he never gives up
In time (in time), I'll open up and share with him my love (and share)
Until then, there's no man that I trust
