I tried so hard to make yousmileFor once I tried to be myselfSo I never tried againI made you scared I made you cryAnd you tried to tell me how you feelI couldn't hear you say a thingYou tried to tell me how you feelchorus:I wasn't listening, I wasn't listeningNow they fill us with fearIt took me twenty-nine years to reach perfectionYour voice disappearscomputerized rejectionson a bad connectionIt gets lonely out hereare you protecting meI need protection, pleaseNow I found a way to make you smilePretending I am someone elsemore than I missed myselfYou found a way to keep it insideto a point where you can't feel a thingCause I really missed your smileand silence suits us finewhen we're not listeningno, we're not listeningIt took me twenty-nine years to reach perfectionYour voice disappearscomputerized rejectionson a bad connectionIt gets lonely out hereare you protecting meI need protection, pleaseare you protecting meare you protecting meare you protecting me...
