Tekster: Kent. Hagnesta Hill. Protection.

I tried so hard to make you smile
For once I tried to be myself
I made you scared I made you cry
So I never tried again

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
I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening

It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
Now they fill us with fear computerized rejections
Your voice disappears on a bad connection
It gets lonely out here I need protection, please are you protecting me?

Now I found a way to make you smile
Pretending I am someone else
'Cause I really missed your smile
More than I missed myself

You found a way to keep it inside
To a point where you can't feel a thing
And silence suits us fine
When we're not listening, no, we're not listening

It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
Now they fill us with fear computerized rejections
Your voice disappears on a bad connection
It gets lonely out here I need protection, please are you protecting me?

But not "I need protection, please"
Are you protecting me?
Are you protecting me?
Are you protecting me?
