I didn’t hide until you taught me
I learned to live before I knew shame
White flame gave me another key
Unlock the room you did not see
The door shut with fear and blame
I didn’t hide until you taught me
You silenced the thought I didn’t know to flee
My kind of love you want to defame
White flame gave me another key
You didn’t tell me there was another way to be
Your truth, my lie, it was the same
I didn’t hide until you taught me
It froze in winter, your giving tree
Its roots ice until you came
White flame gave me another key
You want from me a harsh green fee
With aching hands I set it aflame
I didn’t hide until you taught me
White flame gave me another key
