I can't sit here and smile anymore
I'm finished lying to myself
Should I just give up the fight
And put my heart up on a shelf
It seems like I'm only wanted by one
The only one that cares
He helps me through all the hard times
He takes away my fears
My family life is world war three
I've been to hell and back
And when I give lip back to them
Sometimes I just get smacked
What if I just run away
For a little bit- to make them see
I'm really not a bad daughter
Give me a chance- right now, I can't be me
I tell them all I need is space
A little space so I can breathe
And maybe just a little time
Some time to find the real me
I'm still growing up you see
I've got a lot left to learn
But maybe I need to learn from my mistakes
And build bridges to watch them burn
