She left real early, said she'd be back soon Sun went down, still not her room Guess she's out there kissin' someone Kinda funny how I hope she's gone House stays quiet, TV off I line my toys up on the floor Talk to 'em like they talk back Like they don't mind the way I act I close my eyes, I change the place No doors slammin', no angry face Just me breathin', just me safe For a little while, anyway I go somewhere else in my head Somewhere magic, somewhere I'm not scared Where everybody knows my name And nobody thinks I'm fuckin' strange They sit with me, they never leave They don't get mad, they just listen to me I know they're toys, I'm not dumb But they love me more than anyone I make 'em laugh, I make 'em talk We go places, we take long walks In my world, I get to choose No one wins by makin' me lose I tell 'em stuff I never say Like how I wish my mom stayed Like how I miss my dad at night They don't say man up: They say it's alright I know it's fake, I know it's not real But it's the closest thing I feel To bein' wanted, bein' seen To bein' more than in between I go somewhere else in my head Somewhere magic, somewhere I'm not scared Where everybody knows my name And nobody thinks I'm fuckin' strange They sit with me, they never leave They don't get mad, they just listen to me I know they're toys, I'm not dumb But they love me more than anyone I go somewhere else in my head Somewhere warm when I'm in bed Where friends don't hurt, they don't pretend They don't disappear in the end They don't yell, they don't lie They don't ask me why I cry I know they're toys, yeah, I know But they never make me feel alone Door unlocks, keys too loud Magic drops, I'm back right now Toys go quiet, back in line I put my world back in my mind She walks in like nothin' changed Says my name like it's a blame Guess it's over, guess that's it Guess I don't get to stay in it I sit still, I don't say a word Just a kid in a quiet world Somewhere else is gone again Till she leaves Then I go back in
