Screaming silence

You shout under whispers, You tell me how I should be, But how am I supposed to do this, When you scream silence at me? You push, I fall, I break under the strain, Can't you open your eyes for one second, And understand my pain? This is why I can't tell you, Because you wont get it, You'll just tell me to "grow up" "Get a bloody grip" Can't you hear me crying, Before I sleep at night? They're the tears I weep for my mistakes, That I'm trying to put right. I try you know, I really do, But you can't see past the imperfections, Can you? Everything I do, In your eyes, is wrong, Well I finally give up, I've been tryin far too long. Maybe I should just leave? And get out of here, Because, let's face it, you'd be happier, If I was nowhere near. So keep screaming your silent promises, Those things you want to say, Because they're nothing I haven't already heard, But remember, you made me this way. I'm your daughter, You're supposed to care, Not shout at me for nothing, Pretend that I'm not there. My head's a total mess just now, I need to come home and feel safe, Not screamed at through the silence, Of a lonely tear soaked face. My tears are silent, You'll never hear them fall, As you continue screaming your silence, And I listen and take it all.
