Protection

Weight on my shoulders, I can bear it all

But when I'm trippin', know you'll break my fall

I get so distant sometimes I don't call

You try to fix it, I put up a guard

I be dramatic, life is traumatic

I'm in the Valley, it's in the nighttime

Minding my business, all of a sudden

My daddy issues, be coming from nothin'

And it's sad that you wanna grab me

And I wouldn't let you, I shouldn't attack you

You wanna help me, you know all about me

I know that you got me, I know that we solid

Protection

You give me protection

When I need direction

Protection

Protection, yeah

It takes one to know one, babe

It takes two to get somewhere

It takes three to strike out then

On take four, we try again

You see when I'm drownin'

We sit down and you dive in

You know all of my secrets

And I hate it

'Cause I be dramatic, life is traumatic

I'm in the Valley, it's in the nighttime

Minding my business, all of a sudden

My daddy issues be coming from nothin'

And it's sad that you wanna grab me

And I wouldn't let you, I shouldn't attack you

You wanna help me, you know all about me

I know that you got me, I know that we solid

Protection

You give me protection

When I need direction

Protection

Protection, yeah

When I like to forget I'm see-through

I try to hide out, you always find out

And when I'm way down, you're my safe house

We built from the ground, guess I'm home now

Protection

You give me protection

When I need direction

Protection
