Love's Not Bulletproof
[Verse 1]
You were woven in my quiet dreams
Heartbeat echoes I could almost breathe
But my restless mind let shadows creep
Took your love like it would never leave
Missed your call, let it slip away
Skipped the song you swore could light our days
Thought, She’s mine, she’ll wait, no need to chase
But even stars burn out when you lose faith
[Chorus]
Love’s not bulletproof, it breaks in silence
Fades without the flame we swore to keep
You gave me your heart, and I grew careless
Thought you’d never leave — but you were free
Now I chase the words I never spoke
Every dawn we shared, each vow I broke
“I love you, I’m yours, you’re all I’m living for”
‘Cause love can vanish… gone in a second
[Verse 2]
I was blind to how you held me close
Carried my chaos with a steady grace
Stood through storms when I was half a ghost
But I missed the ache behind your face
That night you whispered, “Do you still care?”
I brushed it off, too numb to meet your stare
Now I’m haunted by the weight you bared
Afraid I let you shatter then and there
[Chorus]
Love’s not bulletproof, it breaks in silence
Fades without the flame we swore to keep
You gave me your heart, and I grew careless
Thought you’d never leave — but you were free
Now I chase the words I never spoke
Every dawn we shared, each vow I broke
“I love you, I’m yours, you’re all I’m living for”
‘Cause love can vanish… gone in a second
[Bridge]
I’d give it all to hold you one more night
To speak the truths I kept too far from light
Kiss you like the world could end today
Don’t slip away… you’re still my always
[Chorus]
Love’s not bulletproof, it cracks with neglect
Dims when you forget what you protect
You gave me your all, and I near lost it
Thought forever waits — but I almost tossed it
Now I’ll scream the truth I kept inside
Every sunrise shared, each tear you cried
“I love you, I’m yours, you’re all I’m living for”
‘Cause love can vanish… gone in a second
[Outro]
Gone in a second… don’t let you fade
I’ll carve your name in every choice I’ve made
Oh, I love you, I need you, stay…

Love’s Not Bulletproof
Some connections hold a kind of magic you don’t fully understand until you’re looking back at them. That’s what this song grew out of — a love that was real, deep, and rare… and the painful awareness of how fragile even the strongest bond can be.
With my ex-wife, there were moments that felt like fate — moments where it seemed like we had survived too much, supported each other through too many storms, for anything to ever break us. We had a history that carried both joy and devastation, and through all of it she stood beside me with a kind of loyalty and tenderness that left a mark on my life.
But in relationships, especially when life gets heavy, it’s easy to assume the other person is unshakeable. Easy to believe they’ll always stay, always wait, always keep carrying the weight with you. And sometimes you don’t see the pressure on their shoulders until it’s too late.
You miss the quiet signals.
You overlook the exhaustion in their eyes.
You forget that love needs to be fed, not just felt.
Love’s Not Bulletproof came from that realization — that even the most beautiful love can fracture if it’s taken for granted. Not out of disrespect, not out of carelessness, but simply because you believe it’s strong enough to withstand anything… until one day you discover it wasn’t.
This song is my way of honoring what we had:
the depth of it,
the softness of it,
and the fragility that lived right beside it.
It’s a confession, a regret, and a love letter all at once — a recognition that love isn’t invincible, and that even the most special person can slip away if you don’t see their wounds in time.
