i'm doing this to protect you Lyrics

I don't even know why

But I keep finding myself

Back here every time

Going round and round

And I just keep on telling lies

She ask me questions

Then I tell her "pay no mind"

I know it's wrong

I know it's killing her inside

'Cause she's got hunches

But the answers she can't find

I fucked up pretty bad

But I love what we have

So I just move on past

'Cause I don't want you to crash

I don't wanna lie

I don't wanna lie

But I don't want you to cry

Don't want you to cry

No, I don't wanna lie (wanna lie)

But I don't want you to cry (you to cry)

Yeah, I'm so sick of lying (I'm so sick of lying)

But I don't want to see you crying (you cry)

I only lie to protect you

I don't want you to cry

So I keep this all inside

Knowing's only gon' hurt

Trust me, this could get worse

So I'ma throw it out first, ay

Don't ask me now

Just please back down

If you find out

Baby, this gon' break you down

I don't wanna lie (don't wanna lie)

But I have to

I don't wanna slide (but I have to)

I'm just doing what I have to (what I have to)

To protect you (to protect you)

Ooh-ooh

I fucked up pretty bad

But I love what we have

So I just move on past

'Cause I don't want you to crash

I don't wanna lie

I don't wanna lie

But I don't want you to cry

Don't want you to cry

No, I don't wanna lie (wanna lie)

But I don't want you to cry (you to cry)

Yeah, I'm so sick of lying (I'm so sick of lying)

But I don't want to see you crying (you cry)
