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
