she won't tell
because they taught her well
and in her world of monsters in every bed
she'd tell you they're not just in her head
but she knows you wouldn't hear
so she sucks in all her tears
if she could cry
rivers might fall from her eyes
eyes that are sweet baby-blue
and she's just a baby too
hasn't yet reached five
but she already knows that being alive
is just a study in surviving
and sometimes living's worse than dying
her first attempt at the age of four
cause she just couldn't take it anymore
but the lake didn't drown her
and the monsters came and found her
she knew she'd never escape
and figured it must be fate
cause mommy told her god hates you
and that's why daddy hurts you too

and in the end, she'll be
just another tragedy

she endured alone her personal hell
and yeah, they taught her well
and she will never, ever
tell.
