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 chorus but not "I need protection, please" are you protecting me are you protecting me are you protecting me...
