The Girl Who Knows Everything
People say it's unfair that you don't tell
But knowing everything
Doesn't make it show and tell
People have trusted you with secrets
You have overheard things you shouldn't
But people think you're so lucky
And that you're so stubborn
Because you keep it secret
You hide
And only to yourself confide
They don't realize
That why you keep quiet
Is to protect them from the danger that a waits
You're only trying to hide the lies
It hurts enough to hear them yourself
To know that the ones you love
The words they've spoken to you
Mean nothing
To know that what they're telling one person
Is another to you
That everyone hates you
Everyone thinks you're a snake
A nutcase
To know that your best friend's boyfriend
Is going out with another girl
To know one person's troubles
And weaknesses
To have to choose between which
You should tell and which you need to tell
To have the responsibility
Of destroying someone or let them be
Or turning them in to get help
Why was I placed with this curse?
She wonders at night
People don't get
How their life could get worse
But let me tell you this
When you know everything
The world is placed on your shoulders
When you know everything
That person's future
Good or bad
Depends on who you do and don't tell
When you know everything
You wish you knew nothing
When you know everything
You're forced to do something
For good or bad
It affects you
And you wish that the words they speak are true
But of course they're not
And you know this
Just like you know everything else
But you wish you didn't
Because you don't want to hurt
Someone else
You just want to make things right
So you see,
I'm the girl who knows everything
The girl who needs to know nothing
And the girl who although
She doesn't want to
Has to do something
