Johnny

Its another day in school and he's jus 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 cant think of what to say,

"how's the bruises?" from the teachers, hoping that they go away,

Even tho his mom and dad they both got problems of their own,

Called a nut case at 22 but he still rather be at home,

Cries himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up things might have changed,

But everything still the same.....

But didnt you say, you always said that i should speak up hmm

But it seems like all the things you said to me before were nothing at all because

I keep tellin you that johnny's hitting me thats why i'm late for school, (but you never listen),

Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things i didnt do (for what it's worth),

I didnt even want to tell you anything in case it made things worse (jus so you know),

Everytime i say that johnny's hitting me, hey mom and dad it hurts

Every day keeps on repeating like a record on replay, slowly getting off the bus with johnny waiting at the gates,

Like a friend who will smile away but then be 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 jus takes whatevers comin feels the pain with every blow,

Tries to blame himself to make himself hurt soon as he gets home,

But everything still the same....

But didnt you say, you always said that i should speak up hmm

But it seems like all the things you said to me before were nothing at all because

You always said that i should speak up hmm,

And to never be afraid to come and tell you if i needed to talk (find me there to talk),

Well i dont know the meaning of love hmm,

Coz it seems like all the things you said to me before were nothing at all because...
