gone
her name was missy
and she was chubby
so the kids didn't think that she was cool
and she got teased
and she was taunted
everyday at school
she had to hold out
until summer
when her family would move
and then one day
out on the play ground
she thought she had something to prove
you should have played with me
when i was here
because i was never happy
and nobody ever did care
now i will never again be
here
and you can't hurt me
when i'm gone
and you'll be sorry
for all the things you've done
but i will still be
gone
they called her debby
and she was nearing fourty
sick and tired of the way she was treated
by her live in boyfriend
a real man's man
and she was sure that he had cheated
he would put her down
and he called her names
she swore to herself she wouldn't take it anymore
and she would tell him
face to face
as soon as he walked through the door
you should have held me
when i was here
because i was lonely
and you never did care
now i will never again be
here
and you can't hurt me
when i'm gone
and you'll be sorry
for all the things you've done
but i will still be
gone
and there was dennis
he was fourteen
and he was really a good kid
but his druken mother
always found something wrong
with everything he did
she would slap him
and she would shove him
he always had a bloody nose or a blackened eye
so as he was leaving
he stuck a note to the refridgerator
and scribbled his goodbye
you should have been good to me
when i was here
because i was never happy
and you never did care
now i will never again be
here
and you can't hurt me
when i'm gone
and you'll be sorry
for all the things you've done
but i will still be
gone
and don't forget about steven
who has forgotten
the purpose of his life
yes he misses
his two young kids
but he hates his ex wife
his job is pointless
and he lives alone
he's given up on looking for another someone
he takes comfort in
knowing the end is soon to come
as he stares down the barrel of his gun
you should have appreciated me
when i was here
because i was lonely
and nobody ever did care
now i will never again be
here
and you can't hurt me
when i'm gone
and you'll be sorry
for all the things you've done
but i will still be
gone
