Protect Myself Lyrics

This new love

Its so hard for me to give one hundred

Although I'm really tryin

I've been hurt so much in my past

That i have to protect myself

Cuz i don't know if you really love me

Or just telling me that

I gotta protect myself

I gotta protect myself

I gotta put me first

I'm so scared

That you'll hurt me too

I gotta protect myself

I just wanna start out with an apology

(I'm sorry)

Because I really really love you

(I love you)

But i cant show it the way i want to

I'm really tryin

(I'm tryin)

Please believe me I'm tryin

But my past has me scared

(Scared)

I still have the scars on my chest

(On my heart)

Right above my heart

I gotta protect myself

(I gotta protect myself)

I gotta put me first

(I'm so scared)

I'm so scared

(That you'll hurt me too)

That you'll hurt me too

(I gotta)

I gotta protect myself

I gotta protect my heart

The one before you tore it apart

Cuz giving fake love is the new trend

You think its real and then it ends

Baby, I'm down on my knees begging God please

To take this hurt away

I know I'll hurt you if I stay

See I really don't know how to love

Can you teach me

Before i leave this learning hub

I need a hug

I cant seem to trust anymore

Its like I'm there

Then I fall back like Miami shores

Please don't hate me for this

My love is on the shelf

I'll get it soon

But for now I gotta

Protect myself

I gotta protect myself

I'm so scared

(I'm so scared)

That you'll hurt me too

(Everybody says)

Everybody says they love you

(Until)

Until they don't

(I'm sorry)

I gotta protect myself

I gotta protect myself
