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

Chorus:
It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
They fill us with fear, computerized rejections
Your voice disappears on a bad connection
It gets lonely out here, I need protection, please
Are you protecting me?
|C |Fmaj7 |Am |Fmaj7 |
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
When we're not listening
No, we're not listening

Chorus:
It took me twenty-nine years to reach perfection
They fill us with fear, computerized rejections
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?
|Fmaj7 |Fmaj7 |
Are you protecting me?
