I don't think I can take it any more
Their screaming is tearing me apart
From the haven of my blanket fort
I hear them going at it again
Yet this futile fight I know who'll win.
My eyes shut tight
Hoping mum will finally be heard
Yet as the sobbing begins and the voices lower
My heart drags realizing
Dad bulldozed her heart again.
Thus I resume to act again
Like their dumb girl who didn't
Just wipe her tears away
And plaster on a cheesy grin.
The despairing girl whose heart yearns
To end all the acting
And confront the reason why
Her family is tearing apart
Whether it mends or breaks
The foolish acting would at least come to an end

Yet this futile fight I know who'll win.

Hoping mum will finally be heard
Yet as the sobbing begins and the voices lower
My heart drags realizing
Dad bulldozed her heart again.
Thus I resume to act again
Like their dumb girl who didn't
Just wipe her tears away
And plaster on a cheesy grin.
The despairing girl whose heart yearns
To end all the acting
And confront the reason why
Her family is tearing apart
Whether it mends or breaks
The foolish acting would at least come to an end
