The words cemented in my throat
That I want to scream at you nearly everyday
Everything I've always wanted to say
But I can’t because…
It's like trying to walk with nowhere to stand
Knowing you don't understand
You act like I’m from some other planet
That my words don’t translate through
Like everything I say isn't a concept to you
Yet your a part of it too
and I just can’t explain anymore
these wounds are growing too sore
so I try to shut up
speak less and less
because I can’t bear another word that you can’t seem to process
and you’d think I’d learn
Just act like we have no problems… as long as they only affect me
you know… all the ones you pretend not to see
pretend my heart isn't dying
and I don’t care
but this just isn't fair
I’m tired of pretending
And I don’t know how much longer I can. I’m not this strong
To keep standing here acting like you’re not doing anything wrong
And you act like it’s a game
And I just don’t feel I could ever win
I’m sorry but I’m done in
And I just want to speak my mind
Without your manipulative ways
Telling me I’m wrong no matter what I say
So here it is
You refused to even try to understand
And I can’t keep trying to withstand
