TOO BAD HE REALLY MIGHT NEED HELP (a song)

[silence]

This song goes out to all those people who laugh at the kid in the corner wearing all black and say they "just want attention" making jokes about cutting and laughing at other peoples self-expression of their pain. I was one of those kids, still am really, just all grown up now.

TOO BAD HE REALLY MIGHT NEED HELP

Poor little drama queen.
Someone's got an attitude.
Eyes lined in black and red-rimmed from tears.
Clothes black enough to match his mood.

So go ahead and laugh at the emo boy.
Got no one but himself left to destroy.

Laugh and tell him to go cut himself.
Too bad if he really might need help.

Make jokes about attention seeking,
but look away when he reaches out.
Laugh behind his back some more.
Spoon feed him all of your own self-doubt.

Closing more into himself,
every time another door shuts.
Ever wonder to yourself,
if your eyes hurt him more than his cuts?

So go ahead and laugh at the emo boy.
Got no one but himself left to destroy.

Laugh when he says he wants to kill himself.
Too bad if he really might need help.

His father only yells,
and his mother hates him too.
He might smile more,
if it weren't for what he's been through.

But no one really notices,
despite the constant stares.
They just poke fun at his clothes,
and his jet black hair.

Some people wear their feelings on the inside,
and show the world a mask.
Some people wear their feelings on the outside,
hoping someone might ask.

And is it so wrong to want someone to notice,
when you're feeling down?
Is it so wrong to want someone...
just to stick around?

But go ahead and laugh at the emo boy.
No one but himself left to destroy.

Laugh and tell him to go slit his wrists.
No one should have to live like this.

Laugh when he says he wants to kill himself.
Too bad if he really might need help.

Don't worry about the roll you played.
There's another like him that comes each year.
Watch him bleed in and out of himself.
One day he may just disappear.

One day he may just disappear......
