[Intro] Im wishing the bath water clean She hides in the back and is unseen I take off the mask that surrounds me Look me in the face, what do you see? I feel like a boy the age of 13 My body grows up, but my mind stays the same Look me in the face, what do you see? [Verse 1] How do you tell an angel That you dont believe in God? Why do I feel like such a stranger? I look around, I look around And all my friends are gone [Chorus] But oh, would you be me? Because I would be you Oh, youd be happy Only if you wanted to And how would you treat me? Because I would treat you Oh, youd be happy Only if you wanted to [Verse 2] How do you tell your father That you want him to notice you? Why does this seem like such a bother? When mom says youd be better off dead But I want to see you, I still wanna see you [Chorus] Oh. would you call me? Oh, its not hard to Im the first one Oh, you gave birth to And oh, would you write me On my birthday? Graduation was yesterday Yesterday, oh [Verse 3] How do you hold the special victim When they push you away? When theyve been raped on the inside Torn on the outside? The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide Touched in private places, embarrassed faces Too scared to ask for help [Chorus] Oh, would you be me? Because I would be you Oh, youd be happy Only if you wanted to And how would you treat me? Because I would treat you Youd be happy Only if you wanted to [Outro] Im wishing the bath water clean She hides in the back and is unseen I take off the mask that surrounds me Look me in the face, what do you see?
treat, youd, happy, wanted, look
