Hearts in Armor

(Jude Johnstone)



One more day my heart's in armor

Though I meant to let you in

In an effort not to harm it

I have missed my chance again.



I was singing when I freed you

But my pride was just a veil

I pretend not to need you now

My heart tells a different tale.



And every hour that goes by

The harder I become

Because I let that well run dry

Because I left you unanswered.



Then like a fool I kept my secret

When it made no sense to try

Now I can no longer keep it

For it's late and the moon is high.



One more day my heart's in armor

Though I did not see it then

I would finish what you started

If I had that chance again...
