I remember being younger
And no-one seemed to care
They never notice children
While they're sat crying in their rooms
They never notice pillows
That are soaked with tears they wept
The pillows dried
The tears stopped flowing
And yet the wound still ached
They never notice children
While they're crying in their rooms
They never heard the creaking stair
They never looked outside the door
They never healed the pain
They never notice children
While they're sat crying in their rooms
Never see blood splattered tissues
Remains of open wounds
Never notice bright red eyes
That bore inside they're minds
And prise open all the secrets
That the adults try to keep
Too busy with they're problems
To pay the children mind
They never notice children
While they're sat crying in their rooms
She's a very quiet child they say
And they never realise
She's never really silent
They just never seem to hear
The cries that are never ending
And the screams that pierce the night
They never seem to notice
That their children can't stand up
They never hear the clinking
Of bottles late at night
They never notice children
While they're sat crying in their rooms
Mummy never noticed me
Daddy never cared
All they seemed to mind about
Was that I shouldn't stare
Anshouldhey never miss me
Even though I'm dead inside
And I don't think they knew me
When I was bubbly and bright
They never notice children
When they're crying in the night
