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
