It's closing time and I'm leaving
You're holding on to someone new
Are you still picking up the pieces?
Am I still worried 'bout you?

Why, yes, I am and I always will
Yes, I am, and I always will
Yes, I am, and I always will be some protector

Holding on from a distance
I'd never wanna intrude
Does he love you any different?
Am I still sounding like a fool?

Why, yes, I am, and I always will
Yes, I am, and I always will
Yes, I am, and I always will be some protector
Some protector to you

Am I guilty? Am I sorry?
Do I miss you at the party?
Am I dragging this forever?
Am I thinking 'bout September?
Am I wrecking reputation
While you're making reservations?
Am I lying to my mother
That someday I'll find another?

Yes, I am, and I always will
Yes, I am, and I always will
Yes, I am, and I always will be some protector
Some protector
Be some protector to you
