lyrics

If I could solve for X
Where Y times Z is all their torturing
Then maybe my A plus
Would mean something more than just a high score

It’s the same day after day
You’d think I’d learn by now, but I never change
Gifted children learn to be adults all alone in the world
They told me I was special but now they’re laughing in my face!

They’ll never hear me crying

I never asked to be this way
So why won’t you all just look away?
Your eyes piercing me, I can’t escape it
I hate the way that you always laugh at me
Trying so hard to just fit in
I lie, but you always see right through it
Time after time, but I keep at it
If I could just make you see all that I could be…

I’m breaking down again
The words they say destroy me every day
But now I understand
What I gotta to do so I can get through

I think I’ll solve for X
Divide by B and multiply by me
It’s extra credit but
I can’t let my social grade fall again

If they can’t see who I am
Then detention’s what they need, it’s clear as can be
Gifted children have their grades, their teachers, but that’s really all
And that’s why I keep longing for all the friends I’ll never have

They still can’t hear me crying

I never asked to be this way
So why won’t you all just look away?
Your eyes piercing me, I can’t escape it
I hate the way that you always laugh at me
Trying so hard to just fit in
You lie, but I always see right through it
Time after time, but I keep at it
Just wait and I’ll make you see all that I could be
And all I am, I know you keep pretending
That I’m nobody, you say that I’m nothing
But now I’m stronger, you made me a fighter
The time has come, now you’ll see what you’ve done to me

Lonely children aren’t for you to laugh at, to mock or deride
With karma knocking at your door
Can you tell me how it feels?

And you won’t hear me crying
No you won’t hear me crying

I never asked to be this way
But I’m done trying to hide away
Your eyes can’t hurt me, not any more, no
This is the last time you’ll ever laugh at me
So what if I never fit in?
I know I’m worth more than what you give
And slowly, I’ll start to rise up again
It’s time for me to show you all that I’ve be—
Come, all you gifted children
You’re more than what you’re given
Cast off your shackles and stand up, follow me
Come, all you lonely children
Rise up out of the ashes again
It’s time for us to show the world who we can be
