 I hope that no one finds  you pretty
 I hope that no one takes you home
 ‘Cause while I’m sitting in the dark
 It would be nice to know that you’re alone
 I hope that no one hears you crying
 Or if they do, that they don’t care
 ‘Cause when you handed me my heart
 I spent a week just talking to the  air
 And when your heart  is broken
 You want the whole  world to be blue
I  just want to know  you’re hurting too
 I hope you feel a little homesick
 I hope your mother doesn’t call
 ‘Cause the only thing I have
 To comfort me is hanging on the wall
 It’s my graduation picture
 Proves I can make it on my own
 But every other picture on the wall
 Is proof I hate to be alone
 And when your heart  is broken
 You want the whole  world to be blue
I  just want to know  you’re hurting too
 A stairway to climb out of this pit
 What use would that be
 When all I want is  you down here with me
 I didn’t mean for you to hear this
 But I’m kind of glad you  did
 Instead of saying we’re just friends
 Let’s tear it open and call it what  it is
 It’s a knife right through my rib  cage
 It’s a hammer to my head
 It’s a miracle that I’m still standing  up
 When most of me is dead
 And when your heart  is broken
 You want the whole  world to be blue
I  just want to know  you’re hurting too
