Tuning: Down 1/2 step


                                                  
She spent the night out with a guy who gives attention when she cries 
                             
herself to sleep, I heard her say...
                                                                    
And so she gives him what he wants as long as he can make her feel ok, but
           
she's not ok


                                  
And we avoid the topics, we make the kids have secrets
                               
When they are exposed and everyone else knows
                                        
We'll say we never knew it, that they had a problem
                                   
'Cause if we would have known, we surely would have solved it
                                                
But we can't, it's too late, I said we can't it's too late



                                                              
He's skipping classes 'cause he hates them, hopes he passes, not to take 
                          
them all again, I heard him say...
                                                    
He escapes them with the pills, the ones he takes to make him feel like he's 
                
ok, but he's not ok

God you've gotta save us, we hide behind the faces that we make to disguise
                                                                        
The things that were ashamed of and all the ugly things that make us close 
       
our eyes
                                            
They make us close our eyes, why do we close our eyes?
