Protection
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
chorus:
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
cause we're not listening
no, we're not listening
chorus
