Kenny Noah Cortez - Protect Myself

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
