I've been doing my best trying to make sense of it We both know, baby, you were all talk and I fell for it Every day, again and again, people abuse my kindness But what I didn't expect to see you be the one behind it But you know you made it look so easy Acting like you love me just to leave me Nothing could prepare me for what I thought you'd never do But you know I made it look so crazy Saying that you wanted to protect me From all of the people that hurt me like you do 'Cause I put you first, and you did too I've been doing my best writing my own conclusions Trying to cope with how you could go, leave with no warning (No warning, no warning) Taking my time, saying I'm fine, and who am I kidding? And all that I have is confidence that you were not ready But you know you made it look so easy Acting like you love me just to leave me Nothing could prepare me for what I thought you'd never do (No) But you know I made it look so crazy Saying that you wanted to protect me From all of the people that hurt me like you do 'Cause I put you first, and you did too And you did too (You did too) And you did too And all of our fights about who loves who most, I won At least I'll sleep tonight knowing I never loved you wrong But you know you made me look so easy Acting like you love me just to leave me Nothing could prepare me for what I thought you'd never do (No) And I know we come from different places Never tried to change, we just embraced it Now I see I had a lot in common with you 'Cause I put you first, and you did too

Oh-oh-oh Yeah Please help me God, I feel so alone I'm just a kid, how can I take it on my own I've cried so many tears, yeah, writing this song Trying to fit in, where do I belong? I wake up every day, don't want to leave my home My momma's askin' me why I'm always alone Too scared to say, too scared to holler I'm walking to school, with sweat around my collar I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress My nerves are bad, my life's a mess The names you call me, they hurt real bad I want to tell my Mom But she's havin' trouble with my Dad I feel so trapped there's nowhere to turn Come to school Don't wanna fight I wanna learn So please Mr. Bully Tell me what I've done You know I have no Dad I'm livin' with my Mom 'Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am Hopeful for today Take this music and use it Let it take you away And be hopeful, hopeful And He'll make a way I know it ain't easy, but, that's okay Just be hopeful Why do you trip but the color on my skin? Or whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin? You call me a loser, you call me a fool I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school I wish I had an angel to stand by my side I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside Does it really matter if I ain't got the looks?
