Bring it on back to young days when things wasn't so hard
Playin' kickball in the school yard
The year before kindergarten when the memories started at the day care
All the little kids used to play there
We had no worries just hated nap time but fingerpaintin' and playin' tag was fine
And we would all run around except for this girl
She stayed in the corner yeah her name was Mary Anne
She missed half of the days since the year began
Never wore a shirt that showed more than her hands
She rockin' jeans long sleeves in like 90 degrees
You kno lil' kids they treat her like she got a disease
Came in one day all her hair was gone
Said her momma cut it off cuz she did something wrong
Tears in her eyes she finally said something
Usually she'd get scared and wouldn't say nothing
Chorus
Days that went by she had to cry wonder why did it happen to me
Day after day she slipped away wonder why did it happen to me
Elementary she got the seat next to me
Lucky I wasn't mean like the rest could be
She treated like an outcast wonder how long could she outlast
Being alienated by the whole class
It was still touch and go with the whole school scenario
In for days out for weeks still scared to speak
I wonder if that one time she had tried to tell
And the teacher shrugged her off like oh well
I wonder if that shut her down maybe she had no one to turn to
Maybe this little girl didn't know what to do
We had a project one week me and Mary Anne a team
So i invited her over to the house for ice cream
She bangin' on the door at the house invite her sit on the couch
She surprised her parents even let her out
She looked me in my eye Mary Anne began to cry
I said what's wrong she said she wanted somebody to tell her why
Chorus
After that incident she didn't really want to talk to me
I'd see her in the hall call out but she wouldn't walk with me
Junior high she got cover upcaked up
You could see the bruises underneath the make-up
Stories to make up people askin' questions now
She breakin' down but still no confessinons now
She walk around dazed out lost in another land spaced out
And as days go by she grows more distant
Teachers barely aware of her existence
She in and out more out than in
And one day I'm in class the ambulance pass screechin'
Down by the artroom off to the right in the bathroom they found Mary Anne on the floor
A bottle next to her said she took like 50 pills or more
And left a note that said she couldn't handle it no more
Chorus
