Forgive me if I seem to push you away
Sometimes I find it hard to find the right things to say
It's that it's been so long since I've been so close
And I'm just afraid that I might overdose

Only when you touch my soul
Will you begin to understand
To know the pain
Is to know the man

Torturous thoughts haunt this tortured mind
And I must warn you, you might not like the things you find
Look through my eyes, see what I see
Crawl into my skin, experience the agony

My trust has been betrayed time and time again
Is it even worth the struggle if I can never win?
But realized that I've heard so many promises before
I don't think I can stand the torture anymore

Only when you touch my soul
Will you begin to understand
To know the pain
Is to know the man
