She goes to school, fakes it for six hours...
and gets beaten at home for being ten minutes...

I bite my tongue
Don't know what to say...

I want to see you smile
because I can't stand that look in your eyes...

Sticks and stones won't break my bones
so don't bother throwing any...

I'm alone
I'm scared...

Maybe we met in another lifetime
Memories so distant, we can't recall...

So I sit in my room with the radio on
and the volume control is as loud as it will go...

She doesn't want to trust you
and she doesn't want to care...

We have been brought up in a world
where women mind their manners...

I held on to you so easily,
when did that ever change...

When you look into my eyes
I look away...

I never knew what to say
and I never knew what to do...
