	Story Behind the Song A song about wanting to be able to handle life on my own, but not thinking that I could. I still feel like this sometimes. Lyrics Self-Protected Everything that I try to hide Won't stay locked up inside Seems like everybody knows my sorrow I try to swallow my pride But the day's not on my side All my problems slip into tomorrow I know I'm Not alone, but I get the feeling I'm rejected Maybe in time Things will change Change to see me better self-protected, yeah Keep a little for myself Put it back there on the shelf I just hope that it won't spill over Even though I try try my best It always seems to come up less And it feels like the world's sitting on my shoulders Don't like the shape I'm in And there it goes again Do I want to have all this attention? Am I a helpless mess I don't know man, I confess Maybe I'm just screaming for affection People try to help me They force themselves on me I didn't ask for any of this I don't need nobody else I just want to help myself
