Crying Skies, Rain And Discarded Memories

a broken bad boy

He's a bad boy caught in the loop,

Smoking cigarettes, sounding aloof,

Wearing leather and those worn out boots,

Girls love his face but not his roots.

How much time does it take?

To look past the false facade,

To notice the busted lip,

Call him bad, but he's innocent.

He's a bad boy cause he can't fit in,

Lacking the 4.0 GPA and the grades,

Got a sleeve full of tattoos and piercings,

No one listens to what he wants to say.

How much longer can he hold on?

Until the sirens blare outside home,

Passed out in a pool of his own blood,

No one home but an abusive dad.

He's a bad boy, he's losing hope,

In the E.R. he's all alone,

Cut his veins to feel his pain,

They can't see his tears in the rain.

How many more bad boys are left to go?

Smelling of cocaine,sadness and smoke

Left with no one but their silent thoughts,

When are we going to help them cope?

He's a bad boy caught in the loop,

Smoking cigarettes, sounding aloof,

Broken families and broken hearts,

Self blame cause there's no one left to call.

To every girl in love with such a guy,

Who you know is struggling to survive,

He may have the vibe, the looks,

But you may not know the truth.

Don't love him cause he's good in bed,

Not the gifts he bought you today,

For a moment stare at him in the eyes,

Is it just another day until he dies?

Do you feel the spark you once felt,

Or is he losing all his innocence?

Is he helpless, not himself anymore?

If he comes to you crying don't shut the door.

He's a bad boy caught in a loop,

Frustrated with the abuse,

Sleepless nights, and running errands,

Maybe the jacket is just a facade.

He's a bad boy caught in a loop,

Of self loathing and mental abuse,

Before you go and fall for his looks,

Girl, you better figure out his truth.

Is he living a lie?

Not texting within seconds,

Too tired to apologize,

Promising he'll never make you cry.

Do you know who he really is?

Have you seen him at this worst?

Have you seen his scars?

When he's feeling down,

Have you been there to play your part?

Is he too tired to argue?

So sick and tired of living and loving,

Time's running out, he's giving in,

Understand him, he's more than a sin.
