How hard can someone try
to please someone else?
I've tried and failed
Can't tell you how that felt
My emotions are bubbling
Is it really too troubling
to watch your daughter cry?
I can feel them
the tears
are coming
My skies are darkening
getting greyer
What in the hell do we
have to say to her
to make her see we're
not playing around?
I'm listening to this and silently
breaking without a sound
How far will I go
to please all of you?
Will I continue until
there is nothing left?
I don't even know
but that's it I bet
Everything you say reaches my ears
but instead of consoling you turn
away from my tears
You take one last look at me
What is it you really see?
Quizzical looks and stares
I have endured
but those from you are the hardest
to bare
Now you scream and yell
where once you insured
How far will I go
to sacrifice?
To listen to the backstabbing
stories and lies?
Will all of this kill me?
Guess that's for you to decide
Do you still think of me
before you slip into bed
at night?
Do you hate me when you're
wrong and I'm right?
Do you know I still love
you after all you've done?
I'm still your daughter
even though I'm moving on
My emotions are bubbling
Is it really too troubling
to watch your daughter cry?
I can feel them
the tears
are coming
How hard can someone try
to please someone else?
I've tried and failed
Can't tell you how that felt
These are my silent screams
to you
but you'll never hear them
