Oh Mum can't you see the tears rolling down my eyes,
the smiles and the giggles are a horrible disguise.
Oh Mum can't you see that I am dying deep inside,
hidden behind a false mask, covering up his lies.
Oh Dad can't you see that I'm being ripped apart,
I know you had suspicions right from the start.
Oh Dad can't you hear the beating of my heart,
painful and lonely, the beat's right off the chart.
Oh Mum can't you notice I visit less and less each day,
the man I thought I loved has been pulling me away.
Oh Mum can't you notice that when I say that I'm okay,
I turn my face to the side; I'm ashamed of what I'll say.
Oh Dad can't you see the look of anger in his narrowed eyes,
when I tell him I was out with friends, he says they're all lies.
Oh Dad don't you understand I'm looking forward to when he dies,
for I can't escape from his callous grip, despite many tries.
Oh Mum can't you come and take me back home with you?
Oh Dad can't you hold me really close like you used to do?
Oh Mum can't you nurse my heart and my broken bones,
Oh Dad can't you come around and take me back to home.
Oh Mum look at these bruises, Mum can't you see?
Oh Dad don't you notice, Dad - he's hurting me.
