Hook
Why do bad things have to happen to good people?/
I wish i could believe humanity wasn't so see-through/
2x

Verse 1
She said hi my name's amy/amy welcome to our group/listen/thanks/for real/i really didn't wanna come/it took that extra push from my mom to get me here/anyways/you know my reason is the same/it's hard to talk about and explain/the day that i was/um/you know/raped/go ahead amy/we're listening/we understand/you understand?/you can't/unless you've ever had a man/shove his hands down your pants/with no consent/snuff you in the face/and leave you there bleeding/then/he flees the scene/nobody seen what took place/and you're left there scared straight/dazed/staring at the ceiling/with these sinister faces/pasted in your memory/can't even muster up the strength to yell/somebody help me/this feeling of loss of control/'cause they stole/the one thing they know i hold close and defend/and i live as though my life hasn't changed /and i pretend/but this never-ending question/is just spinning in my head/

Hook

Verse 2
She said/hi/it's me/amy/remember me?/listen/i wanna say i'm sorry for my outburst last week/but i think i'm ready now/to share my story with the group/but please understand/this wasn't due to anything i pulled/i was dealing with this instance/i was haunted with this fear/clear i wasn't believing this/and i wasn't allowing tears/insecurities/are they staring at me/as i pass through school?/can't stand the odor of a chlorinated pool/'cause that's when it all flashes back/and i retract to that/night after practice/pulling off my swimming cap/when that backpack/just smashed me in my face/and as i tried to catch myself/all i could see in the place/were bright lights in my eyes/blinding me from the surprise from five guys/from my algebra class/this all happened so fast/why should i try to even cry/to even pray?/i wish that i could end my life/'cause i don't wanna live today/

Verse 3
She said/listen/i wanna let you know/that i'm doing fine/it's just i've had things on my mind/and i've been waiting for the right timing/that question dancing in my mind/i've found an answer/and it's freeing me/i'm breaking loose/no longer bound/you know/the question about good people having bad things happen?/didn't understand your reply/the first time that i asked it/but now i see the answer/it's as simple as the question/it's that god disperses blessings/but man remains man/with a free will/to fill their lives/and stand in god's plan/or to take circumstances/mold them in their own hands/and deliberately/hurt another person/for the purpose/of perverted self-service/making victims feel worthless/but i'm not/ 'cause i'm responding to the son/and once again i'm having fun/no more hesitation/now i'm praising him/for his love with no conditions/and listening with patience/he entered in my heart/today i made that invitation
