Matt Kennon - You Had To Pick On Me lyrics

rate me

He hid behind his lunchbox

Everyday at that bus-stop

Where some big ole boys got their kicks

Kickin’ him ’round

He was scared as hell of that Recess Bill

That play ground was more like a battlefield

And he knew he’d get himself killed

If he didn’t back down

With black in his eye and blood in his mouth

On the way home, all he thought about

Is we could’ve been team-mates, we could’ve been friends

You could’ve made a difference, you could’ve stepped in

If you didn’t like me, you should’ve just let me be

But no… you had to pick on me

She heard them laughin’ ’bout the way she looked

In the hallway at the high-school she hid behind her books

Everyday in that lunch-room, she wouldn’t eat a thing

She stared in that mirror, hatin’ what she’d see

Tryin’ to be pretty became a disease

She was killin’ herself, just dyin’ to fit in

The diary she kept underneath her bed

Hid all those words, that she never said

We could’ve been sisters, cheerin’ at the games

We could’ve gone to prom, shared the same limousine

If you didn’t like me, you should’ve just let me be

But no… you had to pick on me

It’s time to make a stand, take responsibility

Cause it’s gotten outta hand

There should never have to be

Another child’s headstone

That might as well read…

You had to pick on me

Yeah, you had to pick on me<br />

<br />
