Caught staring again
Like a deer in the headlights
When I can't move fast enough
I take a hit for the team

Pretty girl is blushing
I can't tell if she's disgusted
Laughter starts to swell
Like someone gets the joke

Bell rings
I make my escape
It helps a little
But doesn't save

Beat down's a common thing
It happens every day
Maybe I'm just strange
'Cause I don't change schools

Maybe I like the abuse
Or maybe I'm just like you

Another confrontation
You've got something to prove
Your girl can't tell how tough you are
When you beat me up in the boy's room

I made a big mistake
But I can't help who I like
This may not cost my life
But I am branded forever lame

This was not my decision
You were born with good looks
And a solid right hook
Whining makes no difference

You bruised my eye
It doesn't hurt at all
One day I'll rise above
And you will take a fall

I may be beat today
But I will survive
I'll get up off the ground
Stand tall and fight

My eyes don't hurt at all
I would rather die
Than be your whipping boy

School year's almost over
Summer is one day closer

As God is my witness
I will never be a victim again
