Protecting you

Natalie Heisey

After what we gone through 

How could you bounce like that  

That was such a silent move  

You played me for a fool  

 

You left me for a new love  

Baby I thought ours was real enough  

You left so heart broken  

I can't see me moving on  

 

People keep asking  

I'm still here standing  

Telling them you mean well  

And that you're fixing yourself

Why am I still protecting you  

When you never noticed me at all  

 

Every night I lie awake  

Thinking 'bout the love we made  

How did it turn so cold  

When did we lose control  

 

You said you'd always be there  

But now I'm left in despair  

Your promises were empty  

Now I'm trying to break free  

 

You left me for a new love  

Baby, I thought ours was real enough  

You left so heart broken  

I can't see me moving on  

 

People keep asking  

I'm still here standing  

Telling them you mean well  

And that you're fixing yourself  

Why am I still protecting you  

When you never noticed me at all  

 

I'm finding strength in the silence  

Picking up the pieces you left behind  

No more tears, no more violence  

I'm reclaiming what is all mine  

 

You left me for a new love  

Baby, I thought ours was real enough  

You left so heart broken  

I can't see me moving on  

 

People keep asking  

I'm still here standing  

Telling them you mean well  

And that you're fixing yourself

Why am I still protecting you  

When you never noticed me at all

          Not your pain obviously
          But your talent
