Transcription

Content

The song was written about a girl that singer Dexter Holland knew as a child.[2][3] She was sexually abused,[3][4][5][6] and everybody in the neighborhood, including Dexter himself, knew about it but nobody took action. Holland wrote the song as an apology to the girl.

Music video

A music video was made with director Lex Halaby.[7] It premiered on February 2, 2009 on AOLmusic.com.

The video depicts a teenage girl (Natalie Dreyfuss) who writes continuously in her diary about being abused. A boy in the class (a younger Dexter, played by Trevor Morgan) notices her, and suspects that something is wrong. However, he does nothing, and she is left alone. At the end of the video, after exchanging glances, Kristy leaves her diary on the school grandstand for Dexter. The pages of the diary appear in the interspersed scenes of Dexter playing an acoustic guitar.
