I felt fear, I felt a child
Waiting, watching your smile
I went walking in through the gate
Only to find I was too late
Your fear had turned to hate
That you found within your mind
That you didn't know was there
Before she left you

Blindly I'd fly only to fall
Harboured awhile in the hall
I'd climbed stairs I did not know
Only to find I'd been too slow
Through the avalanche of snow
To say the words you used that hurt me
Were the words she used that hurt you
When she left you

I reached the room in time to catch the end
I found that you still feared a friend
So I watched you leave from the front door
Only to find you'd learned no more
Of what you'd been before
And they'll hurt you if you hurt them
With the words she used that hurt you
When she left you
