Protection - KENT

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 29 years to reach perfection

Now they fill us with fear

Computerized rejection

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 are not listening

No, we’re not listening

It took me 29 years to reach perfection

Now they fill us with fear

Computerized rejection

Your voice disappears

On a bad connection

It gets lonely out here

Are you protecting me, are you protecting me

Are you protecting me, are you protecting me

Are you protecting me, are you protecting me
