I don't know what you do here but I...

I don't know who you are
But I caught a sight of you
Hands frozen before a warm dining place

A snowing, freezing night
I see you wear no shoes
But you're standing on the street
Hoping to get high

[Pre-Chorus]
You with the chapped hands
You look in pain to me
And your bare feet are now full of cuts

[Chorus]
Why don't you buy some shoes
If you can pay for that
All the mess you've been through won't fade away

Why not buy some shoes
You don't need to pay for that
In this town no one cares about you ... but me

You like to talk on the phone
In the phone box you feel safe
Somone is on the line
But no one touches you
You don't wanna talk about it
So I won't force the issue
I sense an edge when you talk of your childhood

[Pre-Chorus]
You with the chapped hands
You look in pain to me
And your bare feet are now full of cuts

[Chorus]
Why don't you buy some shoes
If you can pay for that
All the mess you've been through won't fade away

Why not buy some shoes
You don't need to pay for that
No one cares about you ... but me

Can you get over what they did to you ?
Your scars won't disappear, but you're still alive
You are still alive

Open your eyes look at the world
Break from the nightmare
A whole life awaits you
No one can help you, but you ...
Why don't you buy some shoes
If you can pay for that
All the mess you've been through won't fade away

Why not buy some shoes
You don't need to pay for that
It's cold out no one can help you but you

But you, but you, but you

But you, but you but you

But you, but you ...
