Verse 1
Jimmy's walking home from school talking with his friend
But when they get to Jimmy's house he can‚t invite him in
Jimmy says his mom's not well and tells his friend good-bye
He keeps a secret as he slowly walks inside
Cause Mom's been drinking and right now she doesn't care
About this awful burden her child must bear, he's begging
Chorus
Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone, I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't leave me
Please don‚t believe me
Verse 2
There's a house that's dark and quiet where little Amy sleeps
There's footsteps in the bedroom where someone shouldn't be
Somebody whispers I'll hurt you if you tell
Amy keeps the secret and blames it on herself, her smile is just a shell
Chorus
Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone, I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't leave me
Please don‚t believe me
Bridge
Oh the years fly by for the ones who survive
Till they look like grown ups, and nobody hears them
Nobody hears them cry
Chorus
Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone, I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't leave me
Please don‚t believe me
