Man meets boy

Shattered summer

Broken dreams

Too young to know

What he wants is so extreme



He held you down

Told you not to scream or cry

From that day forward baby

You just wondered why



Oh child it's not your fault

Don't rub your wounds with salt



Chorus:

He can't hurt you anymore

I am your friend

My love will be your cure

He can't hurt you anymore

Give me your hand

I'll help you fight your war

Cause he can't hurt you anymore



Man meets boy

Quiet churches

Empty streets

And secrets stored

Behind close doors

Between the sheets



Oh no one knows till it's too late

The damage deepens

In the end something's neath

The surface creeping



You held it in so long

I knew that something's wrong



Chorus:



Bridge:

Baby you're not alone

(It's too late the damage deepens)

Don't turn your heart to stone

(Something neath the surface creeping)
