"You should run away"
She says, at every question I ask
"You should go hide in your room
"And hopefully never come back"

All I can think is how rude she's being
Yet listening to her crosses my mind
But I've ran away for far too long
Refusing to live my own life

"Just shut up, stupid"
She always spits, and yet she's only eight
"Go away, *****. Don't look at me, freak
"Did you see how much she ate?"

What has public school done to you sweetie?
What have you done to yourself?
How could you fall into such a cruel trap?
Do those words belong to someone else?

I always think someone's picking on her
Then I realize it's me
I'm the bad guy in this story, I've always been
And that's probably all I'll ever be

So I'll hide in my room
Just to protect you
I'll keep to myself
And run away mentally

Just don't go bad darling
Don't let me get you
Don't let it catch you
Like it caught me
