Man meets boy   Shattered summer   Broken dreams   Too young to know   What he wants is so extreme      He held you down   Told you not to scream or cry   From that day forward baby   You just wondered why      Oh child it's not your fault   Don't rub your wounds with salt      Chorus:   He can't hurt you anymore   I am your friend   My love will be your cure   He can't hurt you anymore   Give me your hand   I'll help you fight your war   Cause he can't hurt you anymore      Man meets boy   Quiet churches   Empty streets   And secrets stored   Behind close doors   Between the sheets      Oh no one knows till it's too late   The damage deepens   In the end something's neath   The surface creeping      You held it in so long   I knew that something's wrong      Chorus:      Bridge:   Baby you're not alone   (It's too late the damage deepens)   Don't turn your heart to stone   (Something neath the surface creeping)
