No One Ever Told You

You walk the halls and fight back tears
It hasn't changed a day in years
It still seems like nobody cares
So you keep walking
You go to lunch and all you see
Are the ones who've caused your misery
It's funny how a room so full can feel so empty
You don't understand what you did
To be treated like you're unwanted
You kill yourself slowly with your words
Your mind is haunted
And you can't see the glow in your smile
You don't know the power in your words
Oh, and you've never felt the fire in your heart
You don't know 'cause no one's ever told you
Never told you
You step inside your trailer
And meet your mother with another man
This is a house, but not a home
'Cause when you're here, you're still alone
Mama beats you up with words
With alcohol on her breath
You want to run away from here
'Cause this is worse than death
You don't understand what you did
To be treated like you're unwanted
You kill yourself slowly with your words
And you can't see the glow in your smile
You don't know the power in your words
Oh, and you've never felt the fire in your heart
You don't know 'cause no one's ever told you
You've been so strong,
Held on much longer than you thought you could
But it's about time, someone told you that you're beautiful
You're beautiful
And I see the glow in your smile
Even though you don't know it's there
And there is a fire in your heart
It's been there from the start and it sets you apart
But no one ever told you
But now, somebody told you
