"Kyle"

[VERSE 1]
This is about a boy named Kyle who wasn't cool
Never had a girlfriend and sucked at school
He was below average height and refused to fight
So he was an easy target to the bullies delight
He wore big glasses and was the top in all his classes
But his peers made more fun for ever course he passes
He was used as a source for hurtful words to deposit
He'd spend his whole noon hour in the janitor's closet
The pain he must of endured is hard just to imagine
Kyle wasn't happy and never put on a grin
What a life to tryin' live at such a young age
But he kept his feelin's inside along with his rage


[CHORUS]
Life can be cruel, when you're all alone
No one on your side, you're on your own
Just stay strong, and stand your ground
Don't give up on life, happiness is abound

{VERSE 2]
The atmosphere at home was quite much the same
Parents would abuse him daily and call him every name
One meal a day was all he'd be given to eat
The weekends he spend with grandma he considered to be a treat
And when grandma would ask what had caused his bruise
He'd say his laces were undone and he tripped over his shoes
Kyle was too scared to up and tell the truth
'Bout how his mom had hit him and knocked out his tooth
Or how his dad would squeeze him till he was out of breath
Just a few more seconds would have resulted in death
Everynight before goin' to sleep he'd say a little prayer
For to be released from that house and put in foster care

[CHORUS]
Life can be cruel, when you're all alone
No one on your side, you're on your own
Just stay strong, and stand your ground
Don't give up on life, happiness is abound

[VERSE 3]
Now Kyle was fed up and decided he had enough
Became depressed and would get made over small stuff
He made his way down the hall and into his parent's room
Knocked everything off the dresser, anger had consumed
He got down on the floor and reached under the bed
"Whats goin' on up there" is what his mother said
His hand stumbled acrossed somethin' small and cold
It was his dad's pistol that his hands now hold
Now Kyle's dad was careless and left the gun loaded
So when Kyle pulled the trigger a shot exploaded
His parents ran up stairs to see what was the commotion
And discovered Kyle on the floor, no movement or no motion

[CHORUS]
Life can be cruel, when you're all alone
No one on your side, you're on your own
Just stay strong, and stand your ground
Don't give up on life, happiness is abound
