Topics

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 okay, but she's not okay

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 okay, but he's not okay

And we avoid the topics, we make the kids have secrets
And 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

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?

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
