Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I need you to have some patience
You've been waiting to see what you'll become
Take it with a stride
Look me in the eyes
And please don't have no doubts
I feel the weight that's holding you down
We know that this will all work
Out the way it should so
Out the way it should
I need a fortress
A hedge of protection
Cause I feel like I'm too delicate for this
I need a forcefield
Hedge of protection
Oh God, oh God
Will you be my protection?
Why am I always afraid someone's mad at me?
Trying to move but my feet are
Stuck in sand like weeds
Drifting away from what I really want
Cause I just try to keep the peace
Maybe I've been thinking that I'm too delicate for this
I need a fortress
A hedge of protection (I feel like I'm too delicate)
Cause I feel like I'm too delicate for this (I need a forcefield, hedge of protection)
I need a forcefield
Hedge of protection (Oh God, Oh God will you be my?)
Oh God, oh God
Will you be my (protection?) protection?
