SELF-PROTECTIVE MEASURES – Harley Hoodie Lyrics

Just saw your text you sent me, and I chose not to reply

Don't think these people know me, or this side I currently reside

Because when expectations crumble or fears get brushed on

My heart tends to turn cold to protect myself

Maybe I'm defensive

It sucks especially when it's the ones I love who cause it

Know you ain't malicious

Here's the best way I'd describe it

You ain't even do nothin' yet it's making me angry

Trying to fight the distance in my mind lately

Find my mind's always overprotecting, tryna save me

It's a trauma response that's letting me feel this angry

Making me angry

Heart turns cold but when heart turns cold it goin to make me sore

Cause its making me angry

Making me angry

But I still love you more than all this hatred that I'm harboring

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Hey!

And maybe it's a pattern

Every time I'm worried of getting betrayed

So I turn colder automatically

But trust me it's not how I truly feel

You ain’t doing nothin' yet it's making me angry

Mad at my emotions and the way they overtake me

I don't wanna punish you, my heart's just trying to save me

It's a trauma response that's letting me feel this angry

Making me angry

Heart turns cold but when heart turns cold it's going to make me sore

Cause making me angry

Making me angry

But I still love you more than all this hatred that I'm harboring

Am I, am I, am I

Protecting my heart or just pushing you away?

Am I, am I, am I

Turning disappointment into hate?

Woah Oh

You ain't even do nothin' yet it's making me angry

Funny how the people that you love can easily break peace

Maybe I'm just scared that if I care then you could break me

It's a trauma response that's letting me feel angry

It's trying to protect me

By being cold but when heart turns cold it's going to make me sore

Cause making me angry

Making me angry

Doesn't change the fact that you were never my enemy

I haven't had the best experience with trust

That's why you scare my heart sometimes!

But it's all because I care, and I'm going to try to get better at expressing that

Just stay patient with me

Woah

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
