There was a presentation today
A memorial full of familiar faces
They could've been you
They could've been me
Just thinking about what they went through
With no one, they had nothing
And I can't believe
How it's trendy to be
Anti-bullying
But no one faces the reality
Of their words
Not you or I
Until it's too late
To say goodbye
So close your mouth and turn away
Another battle for another day
You are happy if you choose to be
And willing, to make a change
So close your mouth and turn away
Girls who are sorry
But never apologize
Boys who worry
But put on a convincing disguise
It's like no one cares
Because there's no tears
Except the ones streaming down my face
This must be the reason for my haste
So close your mouth and turn away
Another battle for another day
You are happy if you choose to be
And willing, to make a change
So close your mouth and turn away
They say sticks and stones
But don't bones heal?
Scars on the heart,
Those don't deal
And jokes about everything
Make me want to scream
It's more than just a story
It's not just a reality,
It's me
So please open your mouth
And hug me now
Just a kiss for today
I just want to be happy,
If you would let me,
I'm willing, to make a change
So open your mouth for me today
I'll open my mouth for you today
Please don't turn away
