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
Well, we're not listening
No, we're not listening
