Started like it was nothing
Like it was just a little heartache
And everyone can feel the same
But yours never seem to go away
It's like a fortress in between us
No way to understand your pain
If you just say that you're okay
Help us to help you
So you find your way home
But we love you more than you know
No way to reach you, no way to hold you down
If you need to leave, then darling, you can
No way to keep you from pulling yourself away
I just wish that I could help you stay
You were taught not to say a word
And just let it all build up
But that's got to hurt
I can see why it's getting too much
It's like a fortress in between us
No way to understand your pain
If you just say that you're okay
Help us to help you
So you find your way home
But we love you more than you know
No way to reach you, no way to hold you down
If you need to leave, then darling, you can
No way to keep you from pulling yourself away
I just wish that I could help you stay
No way to reach you, no way to hold you down
If you need to leave, then darling, you can
No way to keep you from pulling yourself away
I just wish that I could help you
I just wish that I could help you stay
