So you want to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what your going through

You got so much pain to hide
You keep it locked up deep inside
In a room no one gets to

I can't feel the way you feel
Maybe i, I've got those same scars, same scars to heal
Wish you've got to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby
To ever

[Chorus]
I'll be there should the sun go down
Lift you up to a higher ground
Let me in, let me be the one
I'll be there should you fall from grace
Wipe those tear drops from your face
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby,
Just let me be the one

I want to be the one to show to you? 
Should the rains come down
Never let you drown
I'll pull you through

I want to hear you when you scream
Be your prince when you dream
Hold you close when you cry

I said
I want to feel your love, your hate
Should you be lost, I'll bear your cross of pain
Love seal your fate
I'll comfort you in fits of rage
I'll be the book you can turn the page, and
I'll still love baby
I'll still

Chorus

I gotta touch you I'll see no more damage done
You gotta let me

Solo

I hear the hurt I hear the scars
You can lay your hand right down across my heart
Then you'll learn to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby, ever touch you baby ever

Chorus

I'll be calm in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain
I see more damage done
Baby, baby, you got to let me be the one

Poison

In the context of biology, poisons are substances that cause disturbances to organisms, usually by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by an organism. The fields of medicine (particularly veterinary) and zoology often distinguish a poison from a toxin, and from a venom. Toxins are poisons produced by some biological function in nature, and venoms are usually defined as toxins that are injected by a bite or sting to cause their effect, while other poisons are generally defined as substances absorbed through epithelial linings such as the skin or gut. more »
