Protection. (Instrumental)

Weight on my shoulders, I can't bear it all
But when I'm trippin', know you'll break my fall
I get so distant sometimes I don't call
You try to fix it, I put up a guard

I be dramatic, life is traumatic
I'm on the Valley, it's a night time
Mindin' my business, all of a sudden
My daddy issues, be comin' from nothin'
And it's sad that you wanna grab me
And I wouldn't let you, I shouldn't attack you
You wanna help me, you know all about me
I know that you got me, I know that we solid

Protection
You give me, protection

When I need direction
Protection
Protection, yeah

It takes one to know, babe
It takes two to get somewhere
It takes three to struck out then
On take four, we try again
You see when I'm drownin'
We sit down and you dive in
You know all of my secrets
And I hate it

'Cause I be dramatic, life is traumatic
I'm on the Valley, it's a night time
Mindin' my business, all of a sudden
My daddy issues, be comin' from nothin'
And it's sad that you wanna grab me

And I wouldn't let you, I shouldn't attack you
You wanna help me, you know all about me
I know that you got me, I know that we solid

Protection
You give me, protection
When I need, direction
Protection
Protection, yeah

When I like to forget I'm see through
I try to hide, how you always find out
And when I'm way down, you're my safe house
We build from the ground, guess I'm home now

Protection
You give me, protection
When I need, direction

Protection
Protection, yeah
