He was always such a nice boy
The quiet one
With good intentions
He was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
but good don't get attention
One kid with a promise
The brightest kid in school
He's not a fool
Reading books about science and smart stuff
It's not enough, no
Cause smart dont make you cool, whoa
He's not invisible anymore
With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over prime time news
Mary's got the same size hands
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints
at Mann's Chinese Theatre show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
No no no no oh
They were cryin' to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcome
He showed up to the parties
We was hangin' in
Some guys were puttin' him down
Bullying him round round
Now I wish I woulda talked to him
Gave him the time of day
Not turn away
If I would've been then it wouldnt maybe go this far
He might have stayed at home
Playing angry chords on his guitar
He's not invisible anymore
With his baggy pants and his legs in chains
Since he walked through that classroom door
Everybody knows his name
Mary's got the same size hands (Oh)
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)
at Mann's Chinese Theatre show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
(Now we'll never know, oh)
Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (20 feet away)
He had a tryout with the sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday (Saturday)
Now we're never gonna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole)
Oh now we'll never know
Now we'll never never never know
Mmm now we'll never never never never know
Stole (Stole)
Oh whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mary's got the same size hands (Same size hands)
As Marilyn Monroe (Oh)
She put her fingers in the imprints
at Mann's Chinese Theatre show (She was gonna be a star)
She coulda been a movie star (Oh no)
Never got the chance to go that far (Never got the chance)
Her life was stole (Stole, stole)
Oh now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know, no)
Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (He had game, oh)
He had a tryout with the sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna see him slam (Never see him)
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole, oh)
Oh now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know)
Oh no no no
Yeah their lives were stole
now we'll never know
(Stole)
We were here all together yesterday
(Stole).

vocal I think that this is the one and only song with a music video that made me want to cry... * offtopic : besides the bullying theme to it, did anyone else get the feeling that she was singing about how it's sad when a young person's potential dies? That's what this song made me think about...

vocal This song is good, but really sad. It reminds me of this girl I used to go to school with. She didn't fit in and she talked about doing stuff like that. So did quite a few people I know. Sad...
this song is soooo touching!!! it makes u think that even the people that don't fit in should even get at least a hi or something don't just ignore them cuz even though they might say yeah its ok deep down its not and they prob'ly want to cry
I thought it was depressing. I saw the video when I was like 10. I wasn't allowed to watch MTV than but one of my friends was and I saw it over her house...

vocal I thought this song spoke to everyone everywhere about tha cruelty and reality that ppl face day by day. I mean I used to make fun of ppl like all tha time but then I heard this song and I've been tryin to stop cause I could cause someone to kill theirself or somethin. So I'm proud of Kelly for makin this song!
