I hide my shame in dusk of night
That shelters me so lonely
Why take me to the rays of light?
You know it hurts
You cradle me in your embrace
But I'm still cold and scared
By demons of the past I'm chased
And they still hurt

[Chorus:]
And I've lost the key from the real me
Me that down I've trod
Now it's me that screams and hurts
Now it's me I hide down deep inside
Me I would retain, real me that I have slain
The me I've slain...
Why strip me just to see the scars?
You want to cut your own?
You want new day to come for us
To see me hurt?
Say you love me, say you will
Lie to me, but say
'Bout love that I no longer feel
And let it hurt

[Chorus.]
And I don't believe that it will hurt when sun is shining
And I just believe that hurt will go with raise of dawn
I'll take your love, your love that I am still denying
It will not hurt, it won't really be so wrong

[Chorus.]
