Skip - The Ballad of Molly Haines Lyrics

She was smart
She hid it low key cause her heart was developing
The heat of love came heat of love (be)came sweltering
Thirteen and molly's just a tad bit shy
But her blue eyes had school guys attached to her side
And do you think it's gonna last when revealed?
What it is she got hidden inside her concealed
Something that she don't understand
And yet it makes her feel happy when he gets outta bed
Young love, young love
Some call it a crush
But she ain't learn words to know what it was
As people pass, she'd just laugh
If they only knew the half
Then at last the time came to tell the whole world how she felt
Valentine's day
Not about to be left out, f**k what they all say
Clutch the card made with paper and glue
Walked to the girl in her class and said, "hey, this is for you"

Now he was hurt and hid his own card down his shirt
Felt like such a jerk
Tried to play it cool but it didn't work
One persons alert and yet the others still oblivious
And silly to the fact
She always acts like he's a little kid
But being around her made him feel like he was fully grown
It's so sad, she had a secret that he didn't know
Billy he loved molly who loved sally with the pretty hair
But didn't tell nobody cause she was too scared
Young love, young love
Some call it a crush
But he ain't ever loved somebody this much
And it sucks that most kids are so quick to harm
And humiliate someone for being who they are
When they saw molly's card the sight cause the room to laugh
"Stupid dyke bitch, like sally'd ever stoop to that!"
Even the same boys who used to follow 'round
Said "we're appalled God let someone like you in our town"

And the ugly things the children yelled made molly very sad
And she began to cry
But this only made the mean children laugh louder and louder
So she ran as fast as she could
Out of the room and down the hallway
Followed by billy who found her
Crouched alone in the corner beneath the water fountains
He walked towards her slowly
Knelt down and with a soft warm voice said

This one's for the love that come to you unexpectedly
Confessions of a life lived less objectively
Humbled by the lesson
Feels something along the lines of tightrope and to walk it blind-folded successfully
A story based upon a lifetime of men whose good intentions pave the road to hell
I find i'm somewhere in between a clear conscious and a right mind
A hollow tin man without a heart or axe to grind
Why?
I still can't understand the half of it
'Bout how now i connect with love i used to have to mask within
A pass i overused or convolute the truth for
Justify for me the same shit i judged you for
And lived a lie in my complacence
A fact i nearly took a lifetime to come to face with
I thought i loved once but learned i misused the placement
Now i know now the words i misused were wasted
Happy valentine's day
