Nearest Place to Hide

A bearer of scars Curled up tight and afraid of letting any love in One year down and a million left You were old and gray before you were given a name I know you're sore And afraid of everything The love that I offer has no expiration And I want nothing in return Nobody held you the way you deserve So you hide You're hiding from darker days Far from the pits you were raised Far from the locks of your cage I fear it might always hurt this much The dark is always closing in around you You'll always need to find The nearest place to hide But I'm here Always here When you need me I am here.
