Lyrics Protect My Energy - Little Simz

That's why I-I, love bein' alone
Protectin' my energy
That's why I-I, sink in on my own
Don't you think of savin' me

Don't call me
I don't wanna speak
I got problems
But I'm not fuckin' weak

I'm so guarded
Heart is like a stone
Protectin' what's into me
I-I, I-I, hate to be controlled
Think of what you say to me
Total silence, is my therapy
I don't need your sympathy
Internal guidance, is all that I seek
Don't disturb my inner peace

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely
Rather be alone with my only ones that care for me solely (ba-da-ba)

That's why I-I, love bein' alone
Protectin' my energy
That's why I-I, sink in on my own
Don't you think of savin' me

Don't call me (don't you call me)
I don't wanna speak (no, no, no-no, no-no, no)
I got problems
But I'm not fuckin' weak

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, woah-oh
I'm so guarded
Heart is like a stone
I-I, I-I, hate to be controlled
Total silence is my therapy
Protectin' my energy
