You look at me
with this miserable expression on your face
as if I'm the only thing
standing between you and hapiness

You can be cruel to me
and never feel bad about it
just think it doesn't affect me
I never listen to you anyway, that's what you think

You couldn't be more wrong
everything you say breaks me
You think the world is against you
so you can just hurt the world too

but you shouldn't take it out on me
I'm just trying to be happy
All I ever wanted was to be happy
and you won't allow me

And I get so angry
and then so sad
but I know I'm right
Can I survive this much longer?

I'm not so strong
Broken inside
and you take away the only things I have left
that are truly mine

things I need to survive
things to keep me on my feet
things I need to get up in the morning
but I don't think I want to get up tomorrow

Surely I will
but I can't see that look again
you frame me
for whatever you can't face in life

and I've had about all I can have
