Bulletproof
La Roux (Hyper Crush Remix) Lyrics

Been there, done that, messed around
I've had my share of romantic experiences, both good and bad

I'm having fun; don't put me down
I enjoy dating and I don't want anyone judgmental to ruin my good time

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
I won't let anyone completely take over my life or make me blindly fall in love

I won't let you in again
I won't let anyone who has previously hurt me back into my life

The messages I've tried to send
I've tried to communicate my feelings and boundaries, but they aren't being understood

My information's just not going in
The person I'm trying to communicate with is not receptive or listening

Burning bridges shore to shore
I'm severing connections in all areas of my life to move on and let go of the past

I'll break away from something more
I'm consciously leaving behind something that may seem good or comfortable but is ultimately holding me back

I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap
I'm not interested in love that requires me to compromise my worth, safety, or integrity

I won't let you turn around
I won't let someone change their mind or position after I've made a decision

And tell me now I'm much too proud
I won't let someone make me feel bad for standing up for myself or having standards

To walk away from something when it's dead
I won't cling to something that's over, even if it's painful or uncertain to let go

Do, do, do your dirty words
I know you're using manipulative or hurtful language

Come out to play when you are heard
You only resort to offensive speech when you feel threatened or challenged

There's certain things that should be left unsaid
There are lines that shouldn't be crossed or discussed, especially without mutual consent or respect

Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch
Time is precious and constantly ticking, and I won't waste it waiting for someone to change or treat me better

And life's too short for me to stop
I won't let someone else's behavior or words halt my personal growth or happiness

Oh, baby, your time is running out
You have a limited opportunity to show me that you're worth my time and trust

All you do is fill me up with doubt
Your actions and words don't match, and I don't feel secure or respected in this relationship

This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof
I'm setting clear boundaries and standards in my relationships, and I won't let anyone else's negativity or inconsistencies affect me like they used to

This time, baby, I'll be Bulletproof
I'm affirming that I am deserving of respect, love, and happiness, and I won't let anyone make me feel otherwise

This time baby I'll be Bulletproof
I'm embracing my strength, resilience, and self-worth, and I won't let anyone or anything compromise them

This time baby, I'll be Bulletproof
I'm moving forward with confidence, knowing that I'm capable of protecting myself and thriving, regardless of what challenges or heartache may come
