Sign Language Lyrics

[Verse 3: Kinetics]
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 a 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


[Hook]
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


[Outro: Kinetics]
So if you have something to say to somebody, then do it now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
