Protective Lyrics by French Vanilla

How Am I Not Myself?

2019

[Verse 1]
When you walk, crossing the courtyard
Then in a second, I'll be letting down my guard
I need a sympathetic ear to rely
Take all the time I need to identify
Someone who I can rely

[Refrain]
You bring me something in the dead of night
And it was something that I knew I liked
Keep looking and you're reaping the benefit
Keep talking and we enter the lion's den
Tapping on the table now
Grinding your teeth now

[Pre-Chorus]
Women have to build walls
Women have to build walls
Women have to build walls
Women have to build walls

[Chorus]
Feeling so protective
And then I feel rejected
Projecting what I feel on
Mirror so reflective

[Verse 2]
Testing stable part or system
Waiting for someone who'll listen
But I didn't really mean it this time
I just said it to be nice

[Refrain]
You bring me something in the dead of night
And it was something that I knew I liked
Keep looking and you're reaping the benefit
Keep talking and we enter the lion's den
Tapping on the table now
Grinding your teeth now

[Pre-Chorus]
Women have to build walls
Women have to build walls
Women have to build walls
Women have to build walls

[Chorus]
Feeling so protective
And then I feel rejected
Projecting what I feel on
Mirror so reflective

[Outro]
Build walls
Build walls
