Protection

I tried so hard to make yousmile

For once I tried to be myself

So I never tried again

I made you scared I made you cry

And you tried to tell me how you feel

I couldn't hear you say a thing

You tried to tell me how you feel

chorus:

I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening

Now they fill us with fear

It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection

Your voice disappears

computerized rejections

on a bad connection

It gets lonely out here

are you protecting me

I need protection, please

Now I found a way to make you smile

Pretending I am someone else

more than I missed myself

You found a way to keep it inside

to a point where you can't feel a thing

Cause I really missed your smile

and silence suits us fine

when we're not listening

no, we're not listening

It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection

Your voice disappears

computerized rejections

on a bad connection

It gets lonely out here

are you protecting me

I need protection, please

are you protecting me

are you protecting me

are you protecting me...
