[Verse 1]
Protect me, baby, be the man I need you to be, for real,
From all the fake people and every shady deal.
Yeah, I know I act like I can move a mountain, make a scene,
But showing that I'm weak is not a look I'm ever keen on, you know what I mean?
It's just a wall I built, a front I gotta keep up quick,
'Cause in this world, they'll kick you down the second you get sick.
So I had to be the tough one, be the one who's always on and strong,
But even fighters need a corner where they know they're not alone for long.

[Pre-Chorus]
And honestly, I'm tired of the pressure and the pain,
Of holding back the tears and dancing in the acid rain.
I just wanna let it go, let all my heavy armor fall apart,
And hear you tell me that you're here to help me guard my heart.

[Chorus]
So pull me closer, let the world outside just fade away,
And keep me safe today, and chase the worried thoughts astray.
I've been saving all this love, I put it on a shelf for you,
I always knew I'd find you, knew that we would see it through.
This world is cold, a place that's forgotten how to feel a thing,
So be my safe place, baby, be the realness that you bring.

[Verse 2]
Protect me, boy, I'm worn out, yeah, my battery is low, you know?
Just wanna be in your arms with nowhere else to go, and just let go.
To fall asleep right there, no static on my radio,
And leave the drama in the past, and watch a better future grow.
I saved this softer side, I kept it under lock and key, you see,
A secret part of me I knew I'd give to you, eventually.
I always had a feeling, like a little prophecy,
That I could give you all this love, and you'd be the one for me.

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been on my own, just hustling and making plays,
Through sunless days and hazy maze, got nothing left to prove these days.
But now I'm standing here, and looking in your eyes, I see the truth,
I don't wanna be the hero of my lonely, tired youth.

[Chorus]
So pull me closer, let the world outside just fade away,
And keep me safe today, and chase the worried thoughts astray.
I've been saving all this love, I put it on a shelf for you,
I always knew I'd find you, knew that we would see it through.
This world is cold, a place that's forgotten how to feel a thing,
So be my safe place, baby, be the realness that you bring.

[Bridge]
You're the real one, the true one, who doesn't just say empty things,
Who understands the quiet and the chaos that life brings.
They say that love's a game of chance, a fragile, sweet design,
But what we have is my lifeline, my peace of mind, you're mine.
So let me be the soft one, let me finally trust the vibe…
Protect me from the world, and from the critic I hide deep inside.

[Chorus]
So pull me closer, let the world outside just fade away, (Fade away, yeah)
And keep me safe today, and chase the worried thoughts astray. (Chase 'em all away)
I've been saving all this love, I put it on a shelf for you,
I always knew I'd find you, knew that we would see it through.
This world is cold, a place that's forgotten how to feel a thing, (So cold, baby)
So be my safe place, baby, be the realness that you bring.

[Outro]
(My safe place...)
(Protect me... from me...)
(The real one... the only one...)
(Yeah...)
[Fade to End]
