Boy was born on the edge of a blade From dawn to dusk he slashes away Saying, "don't touch me don't mess with me now" Nothing's sacred, no one's safe Boy's got an attitude to last for days He's walked over me time and again No one's feelings ever matter to him Lord I'm just so tired Tell me what to do with him Oh, listen to the storyline Chapter written in another time Oh, listen Listen to the storyline You'll begin to know the reason why Pain just seems to haunt their lives Ooh, listen to the storyline She's the invisible girl Sits at the edge of her visible world And whispers, "don't touch me don't notice me now" Shadows have left their mark Stole the innocence from her heart Now she's afraid of what she might be Draws the curtain so the world won't see Thinking, "who would love the person they would find in me" Oh, listen to the storyline Chapter written in another time Oh, listen Listen to the storyline You'll begin to know the reason why Pain just seems to haunt their lives Ooh, listen to the storyline Sometimes I can't believe the things I say I've hurt them all in so many ways Lord, I've played the game of hide and seek When all I wanted was for them to see See the lines upon my face The memories have left their trace Oh, everybody's got a storyline Find the secrets hidden behind their eyes Listen to the storyline Then you'll know the reason why The voice is telling you inside Let compa**ion fill your heart and mind Oh, you gotta take the time To listen to the storyline
