Don’t Protect Me Lyrics by JOSEPH

The Sun

2023

[Verse 1]
Pain is a gift within reason and when things end
You 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?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom
I thought you would protect me
But I don't need your protection anymore
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I'm tryin' to shut it out
But selective numbing'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
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom
I thought you would protect me
But I don't need your protection anymore
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Don't protect me
Don't want protection anymore
Let it wreck me
Take something with me from the floor
[Chorus]
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
