Trying so hard not to let the world see
How deeply you’ve cut me
Everything you say or do
Breaks me and affects me too

This pain inside
Gets harder and harder to hide
I tell myself it’s not my fault
I’m just a victim of your assault

There’s so much I could say
But you’ll never listen anyway
I feel like I’m falling apart
Ugly words being thrown at my heart

I realize you’ll never be there for me
Not the way I want you to be
No pride in this victory, it’s hollow
This life is tough, how do I let go

After being around you I gotta step out
Find myself again, what I’m about
Holding on because my blood’s tied to yours
But these genetics are too much to endure
