lyrics
When I'd cross my arms and hope to cry if caught smoking
You weren't sleeping, we never said a thing
And I tried to leap from your from seat on the freeway
But you held me, you said no what a waste
Your mark was cut in me
No they're not like us
We bled in empathy
No they're not like us
And oh when the world don't care for you
I do
They were quick to say you're overweight and lonesome
And you believed them, you said what girl could love
And they broke your arm in the school yard on the concrete
While I was watching, we never said a thing
They never felt the sting
No they're not like us
We fell for everything
No they're not like us
And oh when the world don't care for you...
