In My Experience, Its Better To Run Than To Hide (Ballad of a Broken Soldier)

Darkness fills the street
The lamps blow out again
You never know what you may see
In the dark without a friend

A lonely boy he stands
Beneath the sparkling stars
Thinking of a way
He can cover up his scars

He looks down at the pavement
Surrounded by a thousand red shards
The gaping hole in his chest
Reveals his missing broken heart

Hes been defeated and cheated,
Oh, ever so wrongly treated.
He was perversed and cursed
She left him for the worse
She left him for the worse

A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
Stand beside me in the fight
Take my hand, little soldier
And it’ll all be all right.
It’ll all be all right

He really needs someone
An angel in the night
To guide him through the darkness
And take him to the light.

He needs to start believing
The world will turn around
But to him it’s always turning
Not sure wheres up and down

The stars become the floor
And the pavement is the sky
If he were to run along this street
He’d basically be flying

Hes been defeated and cheated,
Oh, ever so wrongly treated.
He was perversed and cursed
She left him for the worse
She left him for the worse

A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
Stand beside me in the fight
Take my hand, little soldier
And it’ll all be all right.
It’ll all be all right.

He knows he can trust me,
I swear to him that is true.
It’s me that he can come to
If he can’t make it through

No one hurts this broken soldier
For as long as I will live
No one else will break him
While he’s got something left to give.

A broken heart in a starlit daze
A forgotten soldier in a heartless craze
Take my hand, little soldier
I’ll guide you to the light
I’ll polish off your armour
And you shall be a knight,
Oh yes you shall be knight.
