Bullying

Location

I saw you being bullied by the group of boys

Twice your height, making fun of the way you still play with toys

And you rushed out the door

Your tears, along with mine hit the floor

 

I knew I could have stopped this

Stood up for you

I knew I could have stopped this

Made it me too

 

And if I would have stopped this

You would be happy as happy can be

And if I would have stopped this

I could be sitting here, nothing to see

 

I knew I should have

But I didn't have the power

Didn't have the courage

I didn't have the strength 

Until I was thinking in the shower

 

I thought to myself that I could have stopped it

Made it all better

Because you are a year younger

I was your mentor

I 'm supposed to be looking out for you

Making sure your tears didn't hit the floor
