She spent the night out with a guy who gives attention when she cries 
              Bm               A
herself to sleep, I heard her say...
                   D                   A                             Bm

           A
she's not ok

           G                        D
We'll say we never knew it, that they had a problem

        Bm         D    A              Bm          D   A

He's skipping classes 'cause he hates them, hopes he passes, not to take 
           Bm               A
them all again, I heard him say...
               D                              A
He escapes them with the pills, the ones he takes to make him feel like he's 
Bm                A
ok, but he's not ok
 
 
     G                         D

        Bm         D    A              Bm          D   A

God you've gotta save us, we hide behind the faces that we make to disguise

      A
our eyes
             D      Bm  A                D    Bm   A
They make us close our eyes, why do we close our eyes?
