They say you’re too young to know
About the heart and soul
Did they think
You were wrapped in cotton?
Is the pain then less
When your mind’s a total mess?
Oh how quickly they’ve forgotten

We walk on the darker side
The pain you hide, you hide
(But you will never get to see)
You wait for a better time
Will there be a better time?
(A life without this is not that far)

As cold as the head can be
A shadow hanging over me
Do you think it’s the worst that could happen?
Is the pain then less?
When your mind’s a total mess?
Oh how quickly they’ve forgotten

We walk on the darker side
The pain you hide, you hide
(But you will never get to see)
You wait for a better time
Will there be a better time?
(A life without this is not that far)
