Your face suddenly aged
When you heard the news that day
I found you standing in the dark
Before you try to break my heart
You know I see you, what's been and gone
I'm sure he sees you and cheers you on
We all need you to pull through this one
What I'm trying to say...
You've been fighting for so long
You jumped the gun
And now dreams don't ring so sweet in your ears
Crippled by fear
And it pours out your mouth while you scream and you shout
That your trading is done for the day
And it rolls of your tongue like a funeral song
And still rings when the procession's long gone
The walls you built around your heart
That precious treasure map of scars
And the charade they made of it
Came crashing down it didn't hurt a bit
You know I see you, and all that you are
I understand you, the hand that was drawn
Can't protect you when you're in the storm
And you push away...
You've been fighting for so long
You jumped the gun
And now dreams don't ring so sweet in your ears
Crippled by fear
And it pours out your mouth while you scream and you shout
That your trading is done for the day
And it rolls of your tongue like a funeral song
And still rings when the procession's long gone
