Lyrics

Some Protector

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 (no, no)
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 ya
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?
(Am I guilty? Am I sorry?) Yes, I am, and I always will
(Do I miss you at the party?)
(Am I dragging this forever?) Yes, I am, and I always will
(Am I thinking 'bout September?)
(Am I wrecking reputation) yes, I am, and I always will be some protector
Some protector
Be some protector to you

    What Maisie Peters and Role Model’s Reading Festival returns say about climbing the bill

    Maisie Peters and Role Model both reached Reading’s main stage in 2026, but their routes from smaller slots show that festival progression is less a straight ladder than a measure of what an artist has built in the years between.
