Kent - Protection lyrics

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
