I tried, okay?
I tried to stay happy
Stay strong
Stay optimistic.
But...
You made it so hard.
You put me down
Every second of every day.
Do you even hear the words you say?!
They were like screeches in my ear
They were like bricks thrown at my face...
Oh
The shame, the shame, the shame.

I tried, okay?
I tried, but your words...
They hurt more than I could ever imagine.
