Tonight was like any other night
Drank myself low and went down with a fight
It kills me to know what you've become
I can forgive, but the damage is done
And you took from me all that I had to give
Everyone tells me to leave the past behind
Get up, dust yourself off, and you'll be just fine
But sooner or later it comes down to facing the truth
I may be strong, but I ain't bulletproof
You run around spreading wild fire
Watching me burn just to quench your desires
You expect to to forgive or ignore
The things that you do cut me right to the core
I pretend they don't, but I'm just blowing smoke
I thought I was doing alright till you came back around
Falling out of your love was a long way down
A broken heart can only take so much abuse
I may be strong, but I ain't bulletproof
What did I do to deserve such a cruel goodbye
It gets to the point where there's no point in asking why
Since you left me I'm a bit more defensible
But that doesn't mean that this heart is invincible
If you wanted to take me down, pull the trigger and shoot
'Cause I may be strong, but I ain't bulletproof
I may be strong, but I ain't bulletproof
