Tuesday's Broken

Yesterday hell rain down

Another kid, another school, in another town

Think about how to tell my son

Think about 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 try 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 the 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

There are mysteries down where the blood meets the bone

The loneliness there, it won't leave her alone

But what if we try to reach her with words

What 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, won't make a sound

We keep missing chances to turn it around

If somebody's hurting right now

Open your mouth

What if we try 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

But Tuesday's broken
