Creeping in his quiet home
as the dawn begins to rise
he mutters words of lonliness
his heart is smaller in size
what was once a warm and gentle boy
is now someone so cold
that even if he did change
his heart would not unfold

Staying with the friends he has
he dares to trust the few
though his heart sinks lower in his chest
he admits some love is due.

~
And he met a kind girl
who came in and changed his world
she stayed by his side
he felt his pain subside
~

Dark home town a darker life
a girl sits in her room
she dreams of no more bruises
but can feel her rising doom

Her friends have to leave the room
as mommy comes in mad
and as they hear the screams of pain
they've never felt so bad

~
And she met a kind boy
who came in and changed her life
He stayed at her side
She felt her pain subside
~

Holding hands they stare away
into a star filled night
they left the lives they lived
for something more bright


They know their hope is slim
but they have their hopes and dreams
life is hard but better
and they're happier it seems

~
And they lived together
and changed each other's world
they stayed by the other's side
they felt their pain subside
~

Now as they walk a shadowed road
they see things they've never known
though theyre far away they've never felt so home
and now they know that they're not alone
