I mean I can understand their point of view
It’s just the point is that they never knew you
And you grow to learn and mimic a turn of head
Hiding the girl that wished she was dead
And it was a great secret
It’s just I cannot keep it
And something reached down from the sky
And told me I didn’t have to die
For the sins of someone else
And I felt the icicle melt
And it had been like a knife
Sticking itself into my life
Bleeding out from where no one can see
And if you want guidance then you shouldn’t ask me
Coz I’ll lead you into the storm 
So you can find the heat that keeps you warm
And they draw my arms in chains of steel
Then tell me it’s just coz that’s how they feel
And I must grow to appreciate 
That there is a limit to the state
They find themselves in
But I accept and I begin
To realise the unconditional lies
Beyond the bounds of their disguise
As puppeteer on a string
They tell me things that just do not ring
True in any sense
The person I was is in the past tense
And the man I thought I could trust
Turned into a flame of burning lust
That only ever sought what it could gain
He could not reckon with what I became
And bowed his head and doffed his cap
At the precise moment the memory lapse
Came to claim all that we had been
And I’m stirred from the dream
Of a love in the form
I’m beyond what was born
In a tent in a foreign land
I won’t compromise, can’t you understand?
