Slammed behind the curtain



A girl is hiding, hiding behind that curtain

That curtain right there, I know I am certain

That is her, that girl hiding behind that curtain

She is shy and uncertain and bullied eveyday

She is the type to walk down and sure to get out of her bully's way

She likes to read but her bully slaps her books on the floor

She has cuts on her wrist and sits in the bathroom with a locked door

That girl you see walking down the hall, that girl right there

She is in need of a friend and but you don't even dare

That girl that is hiding, hiding behind that curtain

That curtain right there, yes she is lonely I am certain
