Protected

Don't be alarmed

You're the only one that matters to me

Yet even from here

I know we'd be a bad idea

Oh, don't get me started

I'll trace every line across your palm

Oh, I'm gonna tell you

That you're hard to walk away from

But I've got to feel like I'm protected

And I'm way too much for you, no

I've got to know you can be trusted

But I don't know if you can trust me too

Oh, you like the girls in the backstage

Sometimes I like them too

Oh, you say you wanna settle down

But you keep fooling around, that's what I do

Oh, you're a walking contradiction

See that? See that? 'Cause I am too

You'll never know why I couldn't tell you

You're so hard to walk away from

I've got to feel like I'm protected

But I'm way too much for you, no

I've got to know you can be trusted

But I don't know if you can trust me too

I've got to feel like I'm protected

You wanna come beneath the shelter

And I've got to feel you can be trusted

'Cause I can't trust myself to hold this and not break it

I've got to feel like I'm protected

But I'm way too much for you, no

I've got to know you can be trusted

But I don't know if you can trust me too

I've got to feel like I'm protected

But I'm way too much for you

I've got to know you can be trusted

But I don't know if you can trust me too
