Violently (Your Words Hit Me)

Completely untouchable, I knew no surprises

Wrapped in a cold world, of my own devising

But I heard you smashing and swinging hard outside

Saw your sweet face and I nearly died, I nearly died

Violently

You came to me

Said I could be a different man, a different man

Violently

Your words hit me

And I broke gently into your hands

A frozen survivor, all brittle and hateful

I'm uncomprehending — who would want this fool?

But you chipped away until some poor soul appeared

Shivering, trembling, stumbling around — then you brought me near

Violently

You came to me

Said I could be a different man, a different man

Violently

Your words hit me

And I broke gently into your hands

Violently, violently

I broke into your hands

Into your hands

Give me your hand
