If he could breathe then he would feel so well 
 
 And not locked up inside this prison cell 
 
 Another accident complacency 
 
 And now he's questioning a truth believed 
 
 A precious memory from so long ago 
 
 Push come to shove and now he won't let go 
 
  
  And he sees this world through cellophane eyes 
 
 It's almost like he can feel my lies 
  
 
 So please you're not alone 
 
 I caught him out in the freezing snow 
 
 I've been his friend 
 
 It's hard to tell 
 
 You're hardly old enough, so teach him well 
  
 
 In agony a mother seeking help 
 
 A son astray as far as I can tell 
 
 A month is gone without a word to speak 
 
 Afraid and lonely on this windy street 
 
 Saving face and shame from strangers by 
 
 The choice is made and only God know why 
  
 
 And he sees this world through cellophane eyes 
 
 It's almost like he can feel my lies 
  
 
 So please you're not alone 
 
 I caught him out in the freezing snow 
 
 I've been his friend 
 
 It's hard to tell 
 
 You're hardly old enough, so teach him well 
  
 
 So please don't leave it's your eyes, they're deceiving you
 
 For all eternity, the truth revealed in you 
 
 For all eternity, the truth revealed in you (repeat) 
  
 
 So please you're not alone 
 
 I caught him out in the freezing snow 
 
 I've been his friend 
 
 It's hard to tell 
 
 You're hardly old enough, so teach him well 
 
 Teach him well.
