Текст песни Don't Protect Me - Joseph

Pain is a gift
Within reason and when things end
Y'know it feels like a little death
I'm here in the rift
And even though I know that I don't suffer half as much
Who am I to judge the pain I've been in?

'Cause losing makes room
For a new bloom
I thought you would protect me
But I don't need your protection anymore

I don't want a hiding place
I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
Let it lay me out
I just wanna learn from big mistakes
Instead of fearing everything and staying the same
Even from a bad day like a tidal wave
Let it take me down

I'm tryna to shut it out
But selective numbine's about as possible as tryin' not to blink
Not to think about the one thing on your mind
Around and around
We'll go running in circles trying to keep the spiral from caving in
To say everything's fine

'Cause losing's made room
For a new bloom
I thought you would protect me
But I don't need your protection anymore

I don't want a hiding place
I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
Let it lay me out
I just wanna learn from big mistakes
Instead of fearing everything and staying the same
Even from a bad day like a tidal wave
Let it take me down

Don't protect me
Don't want protection anymore
Let it wreck me
Take something with me from the floor

I don't want a hiding place
I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
Let it lay me out
