I don't own the song, the show, the characters, or the actors. I wish I did, though.


Lost in your dark, I see you there.

What do you see beyond your stare,

And you believe that no one else can know?

What is this thing you keep inside,

Out of the light and wrapped in pride;

Always afraid that one day it will show?

I'll keep your secrets. I'll hold your ground.

And when the darkness starts to fall,

I'll be around there waiting,

When dreams are fading

And friends are distant and few;

Know at that moment I'll be there with you.

She knows he has a past. She has one, too. They have revealed pieces of their lives to each other, bit by bit. But she knows he is holding something back, something major. Something big had to happen for him to become this neurotic, this strict with himself. But what?

What are these voices that you hear?

Are they too far, or far too near?

What are these things that echo from the past?

Who are these ghosts you see at night,

There in the shadow of your life?

They only live by the light you cast.

I'll keep your secrets. I'll hold your ground.

And when the darkness starts to fall,

I'll be around there waiting,

When dreams are fading

And friends are distant and few;

Know at that moment I'll be there with you.

It became more apparent when they started sharing a bed. He cries out in the night, yelling things she can't understand. A few of the repeated words sound like names, but she can't be absolutely sure. Something terrible happened that he was forced to relive in his mind and in his dreams, and all she can do is hold him; hold him and hope that, somewhere in his subconscious, his dream-self would know he is safe and loved.

I'll be around when there's no reason left to carry on,

And every dream you've ever had is gone;

And the dark is deep and black without a sound;

And every star has been dragged to the ground;

Know at that moment, I will be around.

Know at that moment, I will be around.

When he is ready to tell, she will be ready to listen. And she will be there for him, no matter what.
