[00:14.73]It's another day at school
[00:16.01]And he's just walking out the door
[00:17.79]Got his rucksack on his back
[00:19.30]And his feet dragging on the floor
[00:21.18]Always late for when he's questioned
[00:22.78]He can't think of what to say
[00:24.56]Hides the bruises from the teachers
[00:26.15]Hoping that they go away
[00:27.80]Even though his mom and dad
[00:29.24]They both got problems of their own
[00:31.10]Caught a catch at 22
[00:32.47]But he'd still rather be at home
[00:34.31]Cries himself to sleep and prays
[00:35.94]When he wakes up things might have changed
[00:37.81][01:50.38]But everything's still the same
[00:40.35][01:52.98]But didn't you say
[00:42.13][01:54.61][02:34.19]You always said that I should speak up hmm
[00:46.64][01:59.18]But it seems like all the things
[00:48.42][02:00.95]You said to me before meant nothing at all
[00:52.30][02:04.85][02:57.90]Because
[00:54.76][02:07.32][03:00.02][03:26.58][03:52.94]I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
[00:57.67][02:10.09][03:02.81][03:29.19][03:55.49]That's why I'm late for school
[00:59.89][02:12.41][03:05.12][03:31.69][03:58.00](But you never listen)
[01:01.42][02:13.94][03:06.60][03:33.00][03:59.47]Instead you always seem to end up blaming me
[01:04.23][02:16.70][03:09.45][03:35.85][04:02.10]For things I didn't do
[01:06.67][02:19.15][03:11.85][03:38.15][04:04.77](For what it's worth)
[01:08.00][02:20.47][03:13.25][03:39.69][04:05.96]I didn't even want to tell you anything
[01:10.86][02:23.36][03:16.06][03:42.50][04:08.79]In case it made things worse
[01:13.39][02:25.90][03:18.59][03:44.99][04:11.14](Just so you know)
[01:14.62][02:27.20][03:19.92][03:46.40][04:12.71]Everytime I say that Johnny's hitting me
[01:17.38][02:29.95][03:22.64][03:49.03]Hey mom and dad it hurts
[01:27.26]Every day keeps on repeating
[01:28.55]Like the record on replay
[01:30.32]Slowly getting off the bus
[01:31.92]With Johnny waiting at the gates
[01:33.65]Like a friend who will smile
[01:34.84]And wave at him or calling out his name
[01:36.92]Put his arm around his neck
[01:38.48]Whisper "now give me all your change!"
[01:40.25]To afraid to make a scene
[01:41.75]Or plea with him to letting go
[01:43.53]He just takes whatever's coming
[01:45.19]Feels the pain with every blow
[01:46.93]Tries in vain to make himself be heard
[01:48.74]As soon as he gets home
[02:38.89]And to never be afraid to come
[02:41.09]And tell you if I needed to talk
[02:44.98](If I needed to talk, yeh)
[02:47.42]Well I don't know the meaning of love hmm
[02:51.90]'Cos it seems like all the things you said to me
[02:54.96]Before meant nothing at all
[04:15.74]
