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, you're 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
But you've got demons in your closet
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

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 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 any older
You're waiting for someone to bring an answer
What you see is just illusion
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

'Cause I want to know, mmm I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
Won't you, won't you let me know you
Mmm, won't you let me know you
I wanna know you, mmm I wanna feel you
Oh, I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Oh let me near you
Can you hear, what I'm singing?
Well I'm hoping, 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 don't you hold yourself down?

Why don't you listen? You can trust me
A little place, I know the way to
A place there is no need to
To feel you
To feel that you're all alone
Can you hear me?
I know exactly what you're feelin'

All your troubles are within you
So begin to
See that I'm just bleeding to
Oh love me, love you
Loving is the way to help me, help you
Why must we be so cool
Oh so cool?
Oh, we're such damn fools
I said we're such damn fools
I said we're such damn fools
