She looked so far away

When she stood at our door

She sat frightened and frozen

And covered her eyes



But when you hide

No-one knows you deep inside

But when you cry

We can love you like a child



She started to tell me

What i tried to ignore

She acted her nightmare

And i suddenly saw



Its so easy to cover

Its so easy to smile

But some people last winter

We're really broken inside



In the covering darkness

He turned from taking his life

One night in a thousand

We never knew why



His jokes are the fortress

For the hollow heart

It lets him hear the anger

But he won't feel the good
