My very mature granddaughter, Phaedra, attends a private Chinese school in Hong Kong. She recently wrote a song about a bullying incident at her school which left her “Drop Dead Speechless.”
Please enjoy her words of wisdom as she recounts the events that led up to the writing of this song, which is her attempt to challenge the bully in her life. Good for you, Phaedra.
VERSE 1: Hey, you're drop-dead speechless, make another guess, said you know me better than anyone else, or so you say, but not today.
Now, you're sittin' there starin' at me, wonderin' what to do, saying under your breath, 'gosh, what happened to you?! and so I say, I guess I'm different today.
BRIDGE: Yeah, I've known you for sometime now, and I only remember how you used me, how you broke me.
CHORUS: 'Cause, you and I know we can't go on like this, We just don't get along, it's plain obvious, but hey, it was your choice to make. And, you never meant anything you said so I think it would be better if we parted instead, or so you say speechless, drop-dead speechless.
VERSE 2: I can tell what I said has taken you back, makes your mind go blank and your face go slack. And now you see, Just how much it cost me. And now you're realizin' how much it actually hurt. Did you really think that was goin' to work?! But now you know, It's time for me to go!
