lyrics

Where did you get all those bruises from
Did you fall over outside
David thinks it's something more complicated
With details that you'd rather hide
Why do you flinch when I give you a hug
And why are your eyes so wide
Why did you beat up that kid
Even though you know
Doing that wasn't so kind

Is there something I don't know about
Is there something I should know

When I was at your place, I only went once
For your home you seemed hardly at ease
We were in your room, your dad called you down
Quite loud, and you looked up at me
Scared to the bone, I could see through your eyes
You know, this was coming the whole time
I stayed upstairs but I heard muffled shouts
Muffled cries, and it clicked in my mind

Your dad beats you up sometimes
Your dad beats you up sometimes

Jacob we're twelve now
We're not little kids
And I know you're strong enough to fight this

Why don't you hit him back
So he hit his dad
And his dad hit him back so hard
That Jacob could never tell you that
