Music Monday, Please Don't Believe

Please Don't Believe Me by Terry Sue Crawford

Jimmy's walking home from school talking with his friend
But when they get to Jimmy's house he can't invite him in
Jimmy says his' mom's not well and tell's his friend goodbye
He keeps a secret as he slowly walks inside
Cuz mom's been drinking and right she does care
About this awful burden her child must bare

He's beggin'
Please don't believe me when I say I'm okay
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone
I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't believe me, Please don't believe me

There's a house that dark and quiet where little Amy sleeps
There's footsteps in the bedroom where someone shouldn't be
Somebody whispers, I'll hurt you if you tell
Amy keeps this secret and she blames it on herself
Her smile is just a shell

Please don't believe me when I say I'm okay
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone
I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't believe me, Please don't believe me

Oh the years fly by for the ones who survivor
Till they look like grown ups and no body hears them
No body hears them

Please don't believe me when I say I'm okay
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I don't want to be alone
I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't leave me, Please don't believe me
oh don't leave me, Please don't believe me
