Alan O'Day - Please Don't Believe Me

"Please Don't Believe Me" by Alan O'Day, with lyrics.

Child abuse happens every day. If you suspect that child abuse may be happening to someone you know, call 1-800-4-A-CHILD. They can help; you just may save someone's life.

LYRICS:
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 tells his friend good-bye
He keeps a secret as he slowly walks inside

Cause Mom's been drinking and right now she doesn't care
About this awful burden her child must bear, he's begging

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 leave me
Please don't believe me

There's a house that's 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 the secret and blames it on herself, her smile is just a shell

Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
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 leave me
Please don't believe me

Oh the years fly by for the ones who survive
Till they look like grown ups, and nobody hears them
Nobody hears them cry

Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
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 leave me
Please don't believe me

THIS IS SO SAD I CRYED

[enchantresss1]

Dear Alan- This is such a special song-because these words are what children are trying to say but are unable to say !

[dvillmusic]

i just met alan the other day in the studio

a legend so smart and just an all around wonderful man

truly blessed to have met him and sing a song with him

greatest music teacher you'll ever meet

i asked him if we could do a track together, he smiled, thumbs up!!!!!(:

[0rang3mang0]

[94BRIGGITH]

[sycotic51]

there needs to be more emotion in the voice and longer on both kids but awesome song

[sexylatinababe1]

u dont know me but hey im here :)

[MychRyke]

This describes everything I'm going through... I wish someone would just see what is happening, but I'm too afraid to tell them myself. I wish I had a friend that would care for me because my parents don't... Sick of the emotional abuse.

[proe59]

this song really speaks to me. It's like my entire childhood rolled up in one song =(

[AmiMecanique]

I cried... );

[massdrewski]

I can't stop crying. I went 29 years being quiet. I just can't any more
