Wynter Gordon) He was an average teen, he partied often and he sagged his jeans Sat in the very back of the class so he could nap and dream And fantasize about the girl he was obsessed with The one who stole his heart and always kept it 'Cause ever since the seventh grade, she was always standin' in his center stage But every time he tried to talk to her, she would just step away And though she never spoke to him, it didn't matter 'Cause Billy never liked the chit-chatter So what if a little passive? To him she was attractive He could sense a massive personality perfectly by the way she acted Plus she wrote poems for the paper every month It was the lines on the page that had him fallin' in love But he never told his friends, they would say that he was crazy So no one ever found out that Billy liked Amy He just gracefully endured, being blatantly ignored But sooner or later, Billy wouldn't take it anymore So he's takin' his chances, tired of all the wasted advances Sick and tired of never havin' dates for the dances If he wanted Amy he needed to step it up So one day he stopped her by her locker to confess his love And he told her that she was beautiful and lit up his sky Like, "Columbus with a compass would get lost in your eyes" But she didn't respond, just gave him a weird look She tried to give him a shrug but she was carryin' books But that was all that it took, he put himself out there and he got crushed So he had to run away before the tears rushed A whole week, he locked himself in his apartment 'Cause he didn't have the strength to face the world so broken-hearted After seven days of darkness, got a letter in the mail But before he even looked at it, he let that ship sail He was too concerned with all the sadness in his life So instead of a letter opener he grabbed a kitchen knife She was far from your average teen, the quiet type who never had a scene Studied often and wrote poems for the school magazine She had a little secret and she always kept it There was a boy that she was obsessed with So when she wrote a poem for the school paper every month Every line on the page was dedicated to her crush But she never told her friends, they would say that it was silly So no one ever found out that Amy liked Billy 'Till the day that Billy stopped her by her locker during school But she couldn't understand him and responded like a fool And gave him a weird look She tried doin' sign language, but she couldn't 'cause she was carryin' all her books See, even though Amy was equally obsessed She was too embarrassed to tell him that she was born deaf Avoided him at school, but to make her love known She would leave him little signs through the lines of her poems So she sent one to his home, after seven days passed 'Cause it seemed like Billy wasn't showin' up to class So she's going home confused, trapped in the worst mood Flippin' on the TV to a tragic story on the news It was the picture of your average teen, all it said was this: "LOCAL TEEN SUICIDAL WITH A KNIFE TO HIS WRIST" At the scene where he died was a letter never read From a girl named Amy and it said: I wanna show you that I care But I don't have the nerve I wanna say I love you But I can't find the words I wish that you could know how I Really felt all of this time But no matter what I do You can't see the signs Written by Kinetics & One Love and Wynter Gordon.
