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 neath
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 neath 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
No he can't hurt you anymore
