Weight on my shoulders, I can 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 in the Valley, it's in the nighttime
Minding my business, all of a sudden
My daddy issues, be coming 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 one, babe
It takes two to get somewhere
It takes three to strike 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 in the Valley, it's in the nighttime
Minding my business, all of a sudden
My daddy issues be coming 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 out, you always find out
And when I'm way down, you're my safe house
We built from the ground, guess I'm home now
Protection
You give me protection
When I need direction
Protection
Protection
