Violently (Your Words Hit Me)

Completely untouchable, I knew no surprises
Wrapped in a cold world of my own devising
But I heard you smashing and swinging hard outside
Saw your sweet face and I nearly died, I nearly died

Violently you came to me
Said I could be
A different man, a different man
Violently your words hit me
And I broke gently into your hands

A frozen survivor, all brittle and hateful
I'm uncomprehending - who would want this fool?

But you chipped away until some poor soul appeared
Shivering, trembling, stumbling around
Then you brought me near...

Violently, violently
I broke into your hands
Into your hands
Give me your hand
