He wakes up in the morning, his eyes are red he hardly slept

It were his thoughts that kept him up all night, one of so many nights he cried.

These awful names till floating through his head
Bb F
with all the nasty things they said carving their marks into his heart
C Dm
Their nochalance rips him apart.
C Bb
Another day, will it be cruel? The fear travels with him to school
A
Nervous he treads into the hall, he ingores what they call
Dm Bb
I know you find it hard to believe but it gets better.

I know it hurts it's only a matter of time and then you will find:

It takes the dark of night before the sun can shine
Dm Bb
I know the pain is hard to forget, but life gets brighter,

no more need to pretend,

Dm C Bb
She's gazing out the window before laugh this used to be her favourite class
C
Now it takes all her energy to keep their words away

You see her distant looks, her empty stares, gifts from a word that doesn't care
C Dm
She doesn't know she's not alone, she doesn't feel she has a home
C Bb
As she gets pushed onto the ground, she doesn't even make a sound

People look the other way. The teachers pretends it's just childly play
