It's another day at school And he's just walking out the door Got his rucksack on his back And his feet dragging on the floor Always late for when he's questioned He can't think of what to say Hides the bruises from the teachers Hoping that they go away Even though his mom and dad They both got problems of their own Caught a catch at 22 But he'd still rather be at home Cries himself to sleep and prays When he wakes up things might have changed But everything's still the same But didn't you say You always said that I should speak up hmm But it seems like all the things You said to me before meant nothing at all Because I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me That's why I'm late for school (But you never listen) Instead you always seem to end up blaming me For things I didn't do (For what it's worth) I didn't even want to tell you anything In case it made things worse (Just so you know) Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me Hey mom and dad it hurts Every day keeps on repeating Like the record on replay Slowly getting off the bus With Johnny waiting at the gates Like a friend who will smile And wave at him or calling out his name Put his arm around his neck Whisper "now give me all your change!" To afraid to make a scene Or plea with him to letting go He just takes whatever's coming Feels the pain with every blow Tries in vain to make himself be heard As soon as he gets home And to never be afraid to come And tell you if I needed to talk (If I needed to talk, yeh) Well I don't know the meaning of love hmm 'Cos it seems like all the things you said to me Before meant nothing at all
