Don't Protect Me

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
