Baby

On the warmest day in winter
You were summoned from above
And you were sad and you were tired
And you'd used up all your love

That night you asked the same old question
Like so many nights before
And you called out to the stars above you
For the answer or the door

It's been so long and its been so hard
To keep these shields over my heart
'Cause they won't protect me from the fact
That I can't retrace my old steps back

Your television filled its screen with static
You came back from commercial break
And that's when the hired, tired T.V. actor
Broke the news that you'd been dying to fake

Baby, tell me where you are going
Your eyes are glowing
But you're not there
And this is far too real so lets start slowing
The way that you're growing
Just don't be scared
'Cause you don't have to hide anymore
Please don't hide anymore

Baby, your eyes, they cannot see me
It's because they're someone else's eyes
I'm begging you, please, please, please
You don't have to live under his scores
'Cause you deserve so much more
It just isn't fair
But don't be scared
You know that I care
And you don't have to hide anymore
Please don't hide anymore
