Underneath your window,
Write me a secret.
Just inside your closet,
Send me a message.
The kids at school,
They can't know you,
Never know this,
Where he hit you.
Where they can't find,
Unseen, behind,
Down in the dark hall,
Fists through the drywall.
Write your name,
Window pane,
Write the words,
Tell me when they find you.
Wish upon the first star,
Blue lights from a cop car.
Wish upon the streetlight.
Goodbye, goodnight.
One day will they find you,
White lines to outline you,
Never knowing of you?
Does anybody love you?
Where I patched your drywall,
Where l found your name,
Just above the staircase,
Just behind the doorframe.
The teachers at school,
Missed every sign,
Missed every bruise-
Sutures to scalp-line.
Falling down stairs,
Fell off of your chair
Cutting your lip too-
Nobody hit you.
Write your name,
Window pane,
Write the words.
Tell me when they find you.
Wish upon the first star,
Blue lights from a cop car.
Wish upon the streetlight.
Goodbye, goodnight.
One day will they find you,
White lines to outline you,
Never knowing of you?
Does anybody love you?
(Wish upon the first star,)
(Blue lights from a cop car.)
Suffering. (Wish upon the streetlight.)
Goodbye, goodnight.
Suffer the children (One day will they find you,)
Unto me. (white lines to outline you,)
(Never knowing of you?)
(Does anybody love you?)
Wish upon the first star,
Blue lights from a cop car.
Wish upon the streetlight.
Goodbye, goodnight.
One day will they find you,
White lines to outline you,
Never knowing of you?
Does anybody love you?
Wish upon the first star,
Blue lights from a cop car. (Suffering.)
Wish upon the streetlight.
Goodbye, goodnight.
