I was only 16
and i did not even notice
how for gone he'd drawn
his conclusions of atonement
And when it all came tumbling down
I did not even stumble
just kept on with my work
my social life and my trouble
But now i think back there
and it makes me sick
Misery looking for company
but the ignorant too busy getting bliss
I'd throw my soul down
for you to stand on
cause this ground aint high enough
I'd lift you up
and maybe you could grasp on
to the view that you'd forgotten of
My family kept me safe
knew i wasn't ready
to know the depths of the soul
live on past adolesence
Though i can't help but think
had i given more attention
and paid less to myself
i might have offered him protection
But now i think back then
and it makes me sick
Misery looking for company
but the ignorant too busy getting bliss
I'd throw my soul down
for you to stand on
cause this ground high enough
I'd lift you up
and maybe you could grasp on
to the view that you'd forgotten of
I'd throw my soul down
