The Protector Lyrics

As I began to forge my path

You'd stop me from going astray

You showed me your way

How can I learn what's right or wrong

When you wouldn't let me fall

Denied me my mistakes

I fear your protection

You're intervening in my life

Distorted communication

Not sure I understand why

To save me from mistakes

And save you from hurting

You stole control for my protection

Your boundaries aren't so clear

You can't seem to handle yourself

Just do as I tell you

I've seen ahead for you

Won't let you down this hole

I'll save you whether you like it or not

Don't fear my protection

My interventions in your life

Distorted communication

Why can't you understand?

To save you from all pain

I got to step in

And take control for your protection

I've fallen down

I don't know how to stand

Life's sometimes hard

And I never learned

How to protect myself from me

How to protect myself

Protect myself from you

I hate your protection

These interventions make me mad

There's no communication

It's clear that you don't understand

I'm pushing back at you

You react in hostility

The lines have been drawn

This time I'm not giving in

Always scared to make mistakes

Lifetime wasted

I take back control for my protection

I don't need your protection

Like it or not

I just want you to let me be

I don't need your interventions

Like it or not

Why won't you let me be?

Let me be
