Protection Lyrics

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...
