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.
