When I'd cross my arms and hope to cry if caught smoking,
you weren't sleeping
We never said a thing.
And I tried to leap from your front seat on the freeway,
but you held me,
you said now what a waste.
Your mark was cut in me
no they're not like us
We bled in empathy
no they're not like us
and oh when the world don't care for you
I do
They were quick to say you're overweight and lonesome,
and you believed them, you said what girl could love.
And they broke your arm in the schoolyard on the concrete,
I was watching, we never said a thing.
They never felt the sting
no they're not like us
We fell for everything
no they're not like us
and oh when the world the world don't care for you...
