 Behind a wall

 There is a boy

 I've tried to reach

 For many years

 Each time it rains

 I see his face

 I offer shelter

 He walks away

 May you have brighter tomorrows

 The past you had was shrouded in deceit

 May you be eternally beautiful

 The way you are

 The way you are

 To me

 I had the chance

 To feel his pain

 I didn't look

 Deep inside

 My desperate hope

 Won’t bring him back

 It only kills

 The love I have

 May you have brighter tomorrows

 The past you had was shrouded in deceit

 May you be eternally beautiful

 The way you are

 The way you are

 To me

 I walked away

 From the water's edge

 Feeling numb

 From the cold

 Now when it rains

 I can't see his face

 I am weak

 And I have failed
