Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She cried and asked "why me?"
I said "honey, I don′t know"
But that's the heavy heart in me,
Telling the truth that people don′t want to see
Yeah that's the heavy heart in me
Fighting for our youth
People just like me
You know your worth
You gotta grow up
Darling, get up
I know that it's hard
I know they failed
They′re just a little confused
It has nothing to do with you
Darling, get up
Whatever you′re feeling, just know that you're loved
Darling, get up
