I'm your daughter

A tear rolls down
i close my eyes
and i know i shouldn't've said that

everything is silent
but the sound of my heart pounding
and i know i shouldn't've done that

you raise your arm
and i hold my breath
and i know all i can do is wait

time is going slower
just waiting for the pain
waiting for the first hit to be made

then time flies by
and i still feel no pain
I'm just lost and praying

you hit me harder
waiting for me to cry
I'm just ignoring what you're saying

my tears will wait
until you're finished
with punishing me

i wouldn't cry
in front of you
that's just what you want to see

finally you give up
but next time it'll be worse
i wait for you to leave me

and with one foot out the door
the harsh pain
sinks in finally

bruises aren't enough
mom won't believe me
maybe I'm losing my mind

I'm sorry i made you mad
i didn't mean to mess up again
so please remember I'm your daughter next time.
