[Verse 1]
Hide in your shell
'Cause the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell
Was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Shelter behind
Painting your mind and playing joker
[Verse 2]
Too frightening
To listen to a stranger
Too beautiful
To put your pride in danger
You're waiting for
Someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet
You've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
[Verse 3]
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
'Cause it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
Well, let me show you to the nearest sign post
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
[Verse 4]
All through the night
As you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need?
A second-hand movie star to tend you?
I, as a boy
I believed the saying, "The cure for pain was love"
How would it be
If you could see the world through my eyes?
[Verse 5]
Too frightening
The fire's becoming colder
Too beautiful
To think you're getting older
You're looking for
Someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion
What you see is just illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
[Verse 6]
Don't let the tears linger on inside now
'Cause it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest sign post
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you
If I can help you
If I can help you
Just let me know
[Verse 7]
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I've got to know
I wanna know you
I wanna know you
Well, let me know you
I wanna feel you
Oh, I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well, I'm hoping, I'm dreaming, I'm praying
And I know what you're thinking
See what you're seeing
Never, ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down
Hold yourself down
Why don't ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen?
[Verse 8]
You can trust me
So what you gonna take him to?
Oh, there's a place, I know the way
So what you gonna make him do?
A place there is no need to
So what's he gonna, so what's he gonna
To feel you
To feel that you're not alone?
So what's he gonna do?
[Verse 9]
Oh, won't you hear me?
So what you gonna take him to?
I know exactly what you're feeling
So what you gonna make him do?
'Cause all your troubles are within you
So what's he gonna, so what's he gonna
So, begin to
To see that I'm just bleeding too?
So what's he gonna do?
[Verse 10]
Oh, love me
So what you gonna take him to?
Love you, love is the way to
So what you gonna make him do?
Help me help you
Why must we be so cool?
So what's he gonna, so what's he gonna
Oh, so cruel?
So what's he gonna do?
Oh, we're such damn fools
[Verse 11]
So what you gonna take him to?
So what you gonna make him do?
So what's he gonna, so what's he gonna
So what's he gonna do?
