Gotta Keep My Heart Safe

(Verse 1)

My best friends, they've been broken, hurt a couple times

By a couple deadbeat guys,

I sat by their side, wiped away every tear

Listened to their stories, learned to face my fears

(Pre-Chorus)

Oh, I learned so much from them, yeah, I saw it all

Stories of heartbreak, how they took the fall

But I swear I’ll remember, every lesson learned

To keep my heart safe, from bridges burned

(Chorus)

I'll never date a guy if his name starts with D, T, M, K, or J

Or if he drives a stick shift, and has mommy issues to say

No face tattoos, no living at the bar

No felony, no broken dreams, no scarred-up heart too far

Yeah, I’ve heard enough, I’ve seen enough, I’ve learned enough

Gotta keep my heart safe, yeah, I gotta stay tough

(Verse 2)

They told me about the guys who live on the edge

Broken promises, and love that’s unkept

I take their stories, hold ‘em close to my chest

Learning what to watch for, trying to do my best

(Pre-Chorus)

Oh, I learned so much from them, yeah, I saw it all

Stories of heartbreak, how they took the fall

But I swear I’ll remember, every lesson learned

To keep my heart safe, from bridges burned

(Chorus)

I'll never date a guy if his name starts with D, T, M, K, or J

Or if he drives a stick shift, and has mommy issues to say

No face tattoos, no living at the bar

No felony, no broken dreams, no scarred-up heart too far

Yeah, I’ve heard enough, I’ve seen enough, I’ve learned enough

Gotta keep my heart safe, yeah, I gotta stay tough

(Bridge)

They’ve been hurt, now I see the signs

Gotta protect this heart of mine

From the heartbreak, from the pain

Gotta keep safe, gotta stay sane

(Chorus)

I'll never date a guy if his name starts with D, T, M, K, or J

Or if he drives a stick shift, and has mommy issues to say

No face tattoos, no living at the bar

No felony, no broken dreams, no scarred-up heart too far

Yeah, I’ve heard enough, I’ve seen enough, I’ve learned enough

Gotta keep my heart safe, yeah, I gotta stay tough

(Outro)

Learned my lesson from the stories they tell

Gonna keep my heart safe, do it well
