Are you bullet proof?

Have you heard that song before?  Bulletproof by La Roux.  I was listening to it today and I realized how many people walk around with their bulletproof vest on.  Shit, I  know I do.  After being in a relationship for 2 years and having it come to an end, the last thing I want to deal with is another breakup.  So I wear my bulletproof vest.  Keep everyone at arms length, and I spend a lot of time observing.  But is this helping or hindering? 

A friend told me to take a chance, my attitude might cause me to miss "the one".  Is that even possible?  If you're "the one" then how can I miss you?  Whats meant to be will be right?  Anyway, as I listened to La Roux sing about walking away from something that she finally decides is toxic and shield's herself with her bulletproof vest, I realize that I AM BULLETPROOF.  Good thing? I'm not too sure but I know that my vest is strong enough to repel pain.  In life, pain is unavoidable.  Totally contradicted myself right? WRONG! Some bullets penetrate unexpectedly... others you see coming.  I dodge what I see coming, If you penetrate expectantly then that's my fault because I should've seen it coming.  Any way kiddies :o) Check out the lyrics.

BULLETPROOF-
Been there, done that messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

I won't let you in again
The messages I tried to send
My information's just not going in

Burning bridges shore to shore
I break away from something more
I'm not turned on to love until it's cheap

Been there, done that messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof

I won't let you turn around
And tell me now, I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when it's dead

Do, do, do your dirty words
Come out to play when you are hurt?
There's certain things that should be left unsaid

Tick, tick, tick, tick on the watch
And life's too short for me to stop
Oh baby, your time is running out

I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
All you do is fill me up with doubt

This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof

This time I'll be bulletproof
This time I'll be bulletproof

This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
