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
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 beneath
The surface creeping
You held it in so long
I knew that something's wrong
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
Baby, you're not alone
It's too late, the damage deepens
Don't turn your heart to stone
Something beneath the surface creeping
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
