Please stop yelling
Please leave me be
Stop calling me names
It hurts, can't you see?

Please walk away
Please don't return
Go and leave me here
My lesson I've learned

Please just forget I'm here
Please ignore me again
I wish things could be
Like they were back then

Please don't come closer
Please stay where you are
Stop raising your fist
Go back to the bar

Please get away
Please just stand still
Don't move towards me
I'm afraid you might kill

Please don't look at me that way
With that vengeful look in your eye
I've done nothing, please just go away
I'm too young to die
