Your Cape

How do you think that made me feel inside?
It's inside of me...
It's inside you too...
So I should know
They called me the same names they called you
When you were young...
You were scared of the dark;
They had to walk you out to the bus stop
And in class you were quiet and shy
But inside you had a question to ask...

Do you know we held hands...
At least I know that I held yours
And I've got a lot on my mind
But I can't always find the words

I skinned my knee
And it started bleeding
There's a war out on the playground
That the parents don't see;
Children taking sides
And it's you I need to see
You're the one with the cape on that's billowing

Do you know we held hands...
At least I know I held yours
And I've got a lot on my mind
But I can't always find the words

You do need to leave
You need to trust me
How can we leave it
Better off than it was
When we're fighting?
And no it's not getting easier
Even though its what we need...

Do you know we held hands...
At least I know I held yours
And I've got a lot on my mind
But I can't always find the words
