How do you think that made me feel inside?nIt's inside of me...nIt's inside you too...nSo I should know.nThey called me the same names they called younwhen you were young...nYou were scared of the dark;nthey had to walk you out to the bus stop.nAnd in class you were quiet and shy,nbut inside you had a question to ask...nnDo you know we held hands...nAt least I know that I held yours.nAnd I've got a lot on my mind,nbut I can't always find the words.nnI skinned my knee,nand it started bleeding.nThere's a war out on the playgroundnthat the parents don't see;nChildren taking sides,nand it's you I need to see.nYou're the one with the cape on that's billowing.nnDo you know we held hands...nAt least I know I held yours.nAnd I've got a lot on my mind,nbut I can't always find the words.nnYou do need to leave.nYou need to trust me.nHow can we leave itnbetter off than it wasnwhen we're fighting?nAnd no it's not getting easierneven though its what we need...nnDo you know we held hands...nAt least I know I held yours.nAnd I've got a lot on my mind,nbut I can't always find the words.
