Lookin around everyday
at the world as it spins away
thinking soon it will slow down
trying to catch it as you run and fall down

Seeing little girls all around get cut and bruised
while little girls cry in corners after getting hurt
wishing to help them as they lie and say "its fine"
"nothing happened" or "it was my fault"

feeling you heart break as you hear these words
then living the memory as you realize
you had said the same thing to your friends
when they were trying to help you

wanting to help everyone but feeling helpless
as you shake your head and listen to them
trying to keep the tears out of your voice
as you tell them "its not your fault"
"you didnt deserve that" or "you need to tell me
what happened so i can help"

they act like you dont even know
and inside your head you are screaming
trying to tell them that you know exactly
what they are going through..

what can you do when you cant help?
you sit back and talk to them as you die inside...
