Hello, by Evanescence

Playground school bell rings, again

Rain clouds come to play, again I want to go play, but I cant. I’m not in trouble, it just isn’t safe. Kids aren’t safe. I cant be a kid anymore. Adults are safe, and the adults, or the teachers, don’t play with the kids. They just watch. I’ll do that from now on too.

Has no one told you she’s not breathing ?

I wish I was dead, I really do, cause then, this would end. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. He hurts me, I hate him. I want to die.

Hello, I’m your mind, giving you someone to talk to...hello.
I’m screaming inside my head, the only one who knows what I go through is myself. I cant tell, I just cant, they’d hate me. My mind takes me away, gives me something else to think about other than what he’s doing.

If I smile and don’t believe

Soon I know I’ll wake from this dream

Away again, I stop just thinking, now I go, go far away, to a tropical paradise, where everything is perfect, and no one hurts me. I smile, because I know after I go home, this dream will be over, but if I need it, it will be there.

Don’t try to fix me

I’m not broken

This act is killing me! Everyone acts likes there is something wrong with me, they say I act depressed. I’m not! Well, I am, but they cant know that. I have to act, don’t try to fix me, there is nothing wrong!!

Hello, I’m the lie living for you so you can hide.
Who is this girl inside, hiding away, I hide, and all anyone sees is the shell, the shell of what used to be me, I’m hiding, no one can touch me, it’s a lie, but I don’t care, if they know it will hurt them, I can’t tell.

don’t cry
Daddy is dead, Uncle is dead, my friends are mad, but I cant cry, I must be strong, No emotion, nothing, if I cry I will never stop… it’s too risky, emotions cloud the mind, and what if I told? No, no tears, only control.

Suddenly I know I’m not sleeping

Was it a dream, did I really tell? Did I let someone into my hell? Will it end, or will she hate me, throw me away the same way he does. Its not a dream, I told. I am FREE!

Hello, I’m still here, all that’s left Of yesterday.
There is some fear left, sometimes, but I have a new outlook on life now, cause I told. I got help, and now there is nothing but the future in front of me. He cant hurt me anymore, I am no longer his slave, I am my own person, and no one can get me down. My life is good. My family accepted me, loved me, gave me everything I needed. I would never had made it without them. Gotta go, my future without fear awaits!
