You say you want the best for me
You say you really care
But who's to say you really do
When you're never really there?
I try my hardest
I really do
But it's never enough
For a person like you
You tear up my opinions
Before they come out
Like an angsty teenager
You think you know what it's all about
Inside I'm hurting
I'm crying and in pain
But you're not going to see it
You're just a stain
You yell and scream and shout
And throw things over my head
And shake and hit and point
'Till all night my tears I shed
Do you see what you're doing?
Do you hear our pleas?
Will I never be good enough
To set your heart at ease?
I know your anger is only temporary
And I hope it ends soon
But while it's still on
You've broken my self-esteem
Like a popped balloon

Family problems. So silly and pointless.
