Pay attention
Are you listening
In detention
Quiet whispering
Listen to the words I say
Of all these days
These are the truths I kept away
Give me praise
For hiding it from you
Not showing it
Stop you being rude
Pay attention
Are you listening
In detention
No whispering
And in the end, I smile
Apologise
It took a while
Zone out of the sympathetic cries
Of we're so sorry
We never knew
You'd never have bullied me
But that's not true
