He just stood there on the wall, watching everybody fall
Now he's stuck up there forevermore
Frozen in time, frozen in mind he'll never leave it all behind
He never thought his fear would paralyze
Now 40 years have come and gone, 40 winters all alone
He still wonders why they let him come home
You just learn to live with it
You just close your eyes and pretend it isn't there
You just learn to live with it
And eventually, you bury it so deep you can't feel it anymore
Every night she lies in silence, just waiting for the door
She feels it slam against her wall again
He comes on like a hurricane
Wrapped in pain with a steady dose of shame
But she's not feeling anything
She tells herself one day she'll tell somebody else
But she knows that day may never come
You just learn to live with it
You just close your eyes and pretend it isn't there
You just learn to live with it
And eventually, you bury it so deep it can't touch you anymore
Standing beneath that sun, time's no friend to you
Once you stumble just try to stand when you've got every other man
Pushing down on you with all their hands
You just learn to live with it
You just close your eyes and pretend it isn't there
You just learn to live with it
And eventually, you bury it so deep you can't feel it anymore
Can't feel it anymore
