Comfort Object - Protector Lyrics

You said you heal violently
And all at once
A perfect storm
A neutron bomb
A bandage ripped
And your wounds are gone

You said your life depended on
A boy who's strong
One who stands in front
Scares them off
And makes you feel
Nice and small

You didn't want a girl, I'm no use to you
You didn't want a girl, you needed someone new
A protector, a knight in shining armor
Not a shard of which is soft enough
To let go of his honor

He is perfect
He is perfect

You said you needed time to grieve
The boy I was
The one who gave himself bruises
The one who hated the mirror
The one with so many uses
The one who wasn't a queer

And to your credit, you came around
And said you'd love my sunflower eyes
No matter who I was, or how long I cried
But the damage was done, and I think you...

You didn't want a girl, no you've moved along
You didn't want a girl, I was never strong
Never strong enough to live for everyone else
To wear a mane on my chin
To never say "I need help"
To hold my tears when I waver
To promise to be your savior
I'm not the role of protector
But I hope that he's perfect

He is perfect.
