Protection

Oh, my baby now, if you knew

But you only look out for you

Since you left, I'm heavy drinking

You gave up just way too easy

Oh, my baby now, if you knew

But you only look out for you

Since you left, I lack direction

No longer in your protection

Last cigarette on your final drag

At the end of your cul-de-sac

Leave you on read, how cold is that?

I think this place will hold you back

Had to change a lot to change our view

What the hell was I meant to do?

All these angles and you had to be obtuse

But none of these problems are acute and this is not cute

Oh, my baby now, if you knew

But you only look out for you

Since you left, I'm heavy drinking

You gave up just way too easy

Oh, my baby now, if you knew

But you only look out for you (But you only look out)

Since you left, I lack direction

No longer in your protection

On my car roof beneath the power lines

Talking 'bout the future then it just arrives, yeah

You slept on my sofa like every night

Doing any job around to get us by

You missed every birthday, every New Year's Eve

For that money now you're buying useless things

You were never happy being a human being

Is anyone up there as blue as me?

Wherever you may be

Yeah, our family name has (Curses)

And some magic they can't (Purchase)

Me and that city linked it's (Cursive)

But I had to go all in (Immersive)

And they'll hit you hope you (Stay down)

In your best jeans with your (Chain out)

While you're wedged into a (Greyhound)

On the main road heading (Straight out)

Oh, my baby now, if you knew

But you only look out for you

Since you left, I'm heavy drinking

You gave up just way too easy

Oh, my baby now, if you knew

But you only look out for you

Since you left, I lack direction

No longer in your protection
