How do you tell an angel
That you don't believe in God?
And why do I feel
Like such a stranger?
'Cause when I look around
And all my friends are gone
But oh, would you be me?
'Cause I would be you
Oh, you'd be happy
Only if you wanted to
And oh, would you trade me?
'Cause I would trade you
Oh, you'd be happy
But only if you wanted to
And how do you tell your father
That you want him to notice you?
And why does this seem
Like such a bother?
When mom says you'd be better off dead
But I want to see you, I still want to see you
But oh, would you call me?
Oh, it's not hard to
Yeah, I'm the first one
That you gave birth to
Yeah, oh, would you write me
On my birthday?
'Cause graduation
That shit was yesterday
♪
And how do you hold the victim
When they push you away?
Listen, when they've been
Raped on the inside
Torn on the outside
The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide
Touched in private places
And embarrassed faces
To scared to ask for help
Why, but oh, would you be me?
'Cause I would be you
Yeah, oh, you'd be happy
Yeah, only if you wanted to
And oh, would you trade me?
'Cuz, I would trade you
Oh, you'd be happy
But only if you wanted to
But I say no
I'm wishing the bath water clean
She hides in the back and is unseen
I take off this mask that surrounds me
Look me in the face
What do you see?
