No One Ever Told You

You walk the halls and fight back tears

It hasn't changed a day in years

And it still seems like nobody cares

So you keep walking

You go to lunch and all you see

Are the ones who’ve caused your misery

It's funny how a room so full

Can feel so empty

You don't understand what you did

To be treated like you're unwanted

You kill yourself slowly with your words

Your mind is haunted

You can't see the glow in your smile

You don't know the power in your words

Oh, and you've never felt the fire in your heart

You don't know 'cause no one’s ever told you

No one's ever told you

You walk inside your trailer and meet

Your mother with another man

This is a house, but not a home

'Cause when you're here, you're still alone

Mama beats you up with words

And alcohol on her breath

You want to run away from here

'Cause this is worse than death

You don't understand what you did

To be treated like you're unwanted

You kill yourself slowly with your words

You can't see the glow in your smile

You don't know the power in your words

Oh, and you never felt the fire in your heart

You don't know 'cause no one’s ever told you

You’ve been so strong

Held on much longer than you thought you could

But it's about time someone told that you're beautiful

You're beautiful, and

I see the glow in your smile

Even though you don't know it's there

Oh, and there is a fire in your heart

It's been there from the start and it sets you apart

But no one's ever told you

No one's ever told you

But now somebody told you
