STOP! STOP HURTING ME
But they don’t listen and keep pushing
STOP! STOP HATING ME
But they don’t listen and keep going
STOP! JUST STOP
They don’t listen and snicker
STOP! I Can’t take anymore
They don’t listen and continue anyway

STOP! DON’T DO IT
But I don’t listen and look down
STOP! STOP AND LISTEN TO US!
Why listen when they tuned my pleas out
STOP! THINK FOR A MINUTE!

NO! YOU STOP AND THINK FOR A MINUTE
THINK ABOUT ALL YOU HAVE SAID
THINK ABOUT ALL YOU HAVE DONE
ALL THE WORDS THAT BURNED AND LEFT MARKS
ALL THOSE WORDS THAT COILED AROUND ME LIKE SNAKES

Think about all the wrong you done to me
You painted with black and red on a canvas that needed mending
You threw a pitch to a batter who had a broken bat

STOP! WE DIDN'T MEAN IT
But I already took a step and began to fall
