I'm watching this man who's so into his phone, not saying hi, giving no reaction,
you'd tell him no electronics aloud but for all you know that could be his only distraction.
Then there's the woman who could be an actress playing a smile,
she looks happy, yet she's still in this room, I bet she's been hurting for a while.
Another lady, seeming classy with her high heel shoes,
it's 70 degrees yet she wears a warm jacket to cover the wounds.
Even this little girl who's so new to this life,
here she asks why her own mother doesn't treat her right.
You can't forget the boy who's had alcohol in his system since he was 10,
worst part is it was out of peer pressure and doctors have been trying to save him since who knows when.
Finally the average teenager greeting everyone with a pout,
yet nobody knows how many times he's tried taking the easy way out.
you never know what people are going through,
everyone carries a weightful burden, even you.
no one is perfect, everyone feels their own sense of pain,
but you could never have a rainbow, without any rain.
remember when i quit dance?
i thought you'd tell me you're
disappointed in me but you didn't.
remember when i called 911 and
you came downstairs when the cops
showed? i thought you'd scream
at me..but you didn't.
remember when i lied to you about
where i was and what time i'd be home
and you found out? i thought you'd say
you'd never trust me again..but you didn't.
remember when you came home with
gold medals from racing and i told you
that was going to be me one day? i thought
you'd say that's not possible..but you didn't.
remember that night i cried to you for
hours? i thought you'd tell me to stop..
but you didn't.
remember when i told you that you're
my best friend and you kissed me on the head?
i thought you'd say "no i'm just your father.."
but you didn't.
remember when we went sailing and i dropped
binoculars in the ocean? i thought you'd tell me
i'm grounded..but you didn't.
remember when i lost a $200 pair of sunglasses?
i thought you'd say you don't trust me anymore..
but you didn't.
remember that day you found out you were sick,
and my heart exploded? i thought you'd tell me you
weren't gonna be okay..but you didn't.
remember when medication after medication
didn't work? i thought you'd tell me you've given
up..but you didn't.
