Tuesday's Broken

Yesterday Hell rained down

Another kid, another school in another town

I think about how the tell my son

Think about how that one got a gun

There are mysteries down where the blood meets the bone

The loneliness there wouldn't leave him alone

But what if we tried to reach him with words?

What if we looked in his eyes and asked where does it hurt?

Would he find all he was worth?

Monday was hoping, but

Tuesday's broken

On a bed, feet up on the wall

Her eyes are red and wet

And she wants to end it all

Easy to be mean on the screen

Cowards call you names

She reads the lies and multiplies the hurt and shame

Man, it's a numbers game

But there are mysteries down where the blood meets the bone

The loneliness there, it won't leave her alone

But what if we tried to reach her with words?

Would if we looked in her eyes and asked where does it hurt?

Would she find all she was worth?

Monday was hoping, but

Tuesday's broken

Like voices that won't make a sound

We keep missing chances to turn it around

If someone is hurting right now

Open your mouth

What if we tried to reach them with words?

What if we looked in their eyes and asked where does it hurt?

Would they find all they were worth?

Monday was hoping, don't leave it unspoken

Tuesday's broken
