Noah I know your silence see the fear behind your eyes
When footsteps getting closer there's no place to hide
I know how it feels to pray it won't happen tonight
How you freeze inside how you die
Those hands that should protect you they just cause you pain
And every night you wonder if you'll break again
Noah I'm broken too shattered just like you
I close my eyes at night but rarely make it through
We are the broken children
That nobody wants to see
We're screaming but we're silent can't you see?
Broken children - Noah you're not alone
Though we're crying deep inside our bones
Does no one hear us crying?
Teachers see the bruises look away don't say a word
Coach says I'm his favorite - makes me feel disturbed
Noah do you know how shame burns on your skin?
How you can't trust yourself within?
I was only thirteen already felt so hollow
Like there's nothing left inside to follow
They laughed and took my money pushed me to the ground
I still see that bathroom Noah you know this sound?
Why do you do this to us?
We're still children when will you see?
Why do you break our trust?
We just wanted love to simply be free
Noah sometimes I just don't want to be alive
Those pills are waiting there would help me not survive
I've counted every single one I know the way
But then I think of you every broken child today
Maybe we're stronger together maybe
We are the broken children
And YES - you HAVE to see!
Why can't you understand our plea?
Broken children - Noah hold on one more day
Maybe things will be okay
Maybe we'll find our way
Noah I sing for you for us alone
For all the broken children on their own
Can't you hear our cry?
Look into our eyes?
please
