Under No Protection

[Verse 1]
Curtains half open
Blue screen glow on your face
You laugh at my armor
Say it looks out of place
Coffee on the nightstand
Cold from the late-night talk
Every line that we crossed
Tattooed in sidewalk chalk

[Chorus]
Under no protection
You know every bruise I hide
Under no protection
You read every twitch in my eyes
If this is the risk
Then I’ll take the hit
No question
I’m standing in your storm
Under no protection (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
You trace an old scar
Ask me what was the cost
I give you the short story
Leave out the years I lost
You don’t push harder
You just hold my shaking hand
Silence like a blanket
Pulling me back to land

[Chorus]
Under no protection
You know every bruise I hide
Under no protection
You read every twitch in my eyes
If this is the risk
Then I’ll take the hit
No question
I’m standing in your storm
Under no protection

[Bridge]
I used to lock the doors and windows
Kept the light on in my head
You walked in
Didn’t ask permission
Sat down on the side of the bed
Now every shattered piece
Spells out your name in reflection
I’m terrified
I’m alive
Under no protection (woah)

[Chorus]
Under no protection
You know every bruise I hide
Under no protection
You read every twitch in my eyes
If this is the risk
Then I’ll take the hit
No question
I’m standing in your storm
Under no protection
