"U, Yourself And I" lyrics

I'll fight for you in the ring
But it still won't mean a thing
'Cause no matter how hard I swing
I can't protect you from you

The wolves come, then I'll get bit
It comes to blows, then I'll get hit
But it hurts when I admit
I can't protect you from you

You said, "Baby, you should be more considerate."
I said, "OK. Maybe, I'll consider it."
I wish I could read your mind
But in time, I find with that I'm illiterate

I wish I could tell what you're thinking
Energy's up, but, inside, you are sinking
I think, maybe, I have been blinking too much
'Cause I can't see it

I could go lie in your bed
But can't stop what's in your head
Well, I guess what I just said
I can't protect you from you

And it makes me wanna cry
'Cause no matter how hard I try
Or as many times I deny
I can't protect you from you

How am I supposed to stop something clearly invisible?
Divided by yourself, you're forever indivisible
You need to get a check up on your mind. That's a physical
Your brain playing lies with your heart. Afiberal

Lion, tigers and bears
That ain't nothing. I'm 'a stop them there with one of my stares
But, honestly, I don't know what to do
When the person that we're supposed to be fighting in the end is you

Down to ride 'til the very end
Your bodyguard no matter when
I don't know why I pretend
Like I protect you from you

And it makes me wanna cry
'Cause no matter how hard I try
It's you, yourself and I
I can't protect you from you
