He comes home after school
But not a person is home
His life would change forever
But he didn't even know
There's a not on the table
Saying his parents have split up
He would've cried if he was able
Now he's looking for the love

[Chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet
He wants to put all this to rest
Because no one hears his cries
All he wants is to hear no lies
He's trapped outside in the freeze
You'd never know that boy was me

If you would've told him five years ago
That he would be living in a broken home
He would've laughed right to your face
And say that his home's always a perfect place
But now he's crying in his bed
Should've listened to what you said
He'd rather die than be living dead
He never hears a word you say
Thinking tomorrow will be better than today

[Chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet
He wants to put all this to rest
Because no one hears his cries
All he wants is to hear no lies
He's trapped outside in the freeze
You'd never know that boy was me

He has no one to wipe his eyes
No one to comfort all his cries
He's got no mother to understand
And no father to hold his trembling hands

[Chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet
He wants to put all this to rest
Because no one hears his cries
All he wants is to hear no lies
He's trapped outside in the freeze
You'd never know that boy was me

[Chorus:]

He can't find himself quite yet
He wants to put all this to rest
Because no one hears his cries
All he wants is to hear no lies
He's trapped outside in the freeze
You'd never know that boy was me
