Lyrics

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 Too frightening to listen to a stranger Too beautiful to put your pride in danger You're waiting for someone to understand you You've got demons in your closet (you 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 scramble for Don't let the tears linger on inside now Because 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 signpost 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 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 (Too frightening) the fire's becoming colder (Too beautiful) to think you're getting older (You're now looking for) someone to give an answer 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 Don't let the tears linger on inside now Because 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 signpost 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 I wanna know I wanna know you Well let me know you I wanna feel you I wanna touch you Please let me near you, let me near you, can you hear what I'm saying Well I'm hopin', I'm dreamin', I'm prayin' I know what you're thinkin' see what you're seein' never ever let yourself go Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why d'ya hold yourself down Why don't you listen, you can trust me There's a place I know the way to (some one's you know the way to) A place there is need to feel you (some one's you gonna feel) Feel that you're alone hear me (some one's you gonna feel) I know exactly what you're feelin' (some one's you gonna feel) 'Cause all your troubles are within you (some one's you gonna feel) Please begin to see that I'm just bleeding too, oh oh oh Love me, love you Loving is the way to (some one's you gonna feel) Help me, help you (some one's you gonna feel) Why must we be so cool, oh so cool (some one's you gonna feel) Oh, we're such damn fools (some one's you gonna feel)
