He comes home after school

But not a person is home

His life would change forever

But he didn't even know

There's a not on the table

Saying his parents have split up

He would've cried if he was able

Now he's looking for the love



[chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet

He wants to put all this to rest

Because no one hears his cries

All he wants is to hear no lies

He's trapped outside in the freeze

You'd never know that boy was me



If you would've told him five years ago

That he would be living in a broken home

He would've laughed right to your face

And say that his home's always a perfect place

But now he's crying in his bed

Should've listened to what you said

He'd rather die than be living dead

He never hears a word you say

Thinking tomorrow will be better than today



[chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet

He wants to put all this to rest

Because no one hears his cries

All he wants is to hear no lies

He's trapped outside in the freeze

You'd never know that boy was me



He has no one to wipe his eyes

No one to comfort all his cries

He's got no mother to understand

And no father to hold his trembling hands



[chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet

He wants to put all this to rest

Because no one hears his cries

All he wants is to hear no lies

He's trapped outside in the freeze

You'd never know that boy was me



[chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet

He wants to put all this to rest

Because no one hears his cries

All he wants is to hear no lies

He's trapped outside in the freeze

You'd never know that boy was me
