As I grasp onto your arm, I only look for acceptance and love My heart is calling out to feel the warmth of my father (my father) Is it too much to ask for you to wake up? These scars on my face only remind me we live in a broken world We live in a broken world You threaten me with everything in your reach Can't you see how pathetic you are? You spit in my face and you call me trash I look into your eyes and see nothing but anger I look into your eyes and see nothing but anger I can't take it anymore I can't take this anymore In this broken home I stand Staring at a blank wall that has been smashed in I feel as though I am looking into a mirror Of what's inside of me, (of what's inside of me) Running through the house I find myself running for my life Why can't this just be a dream (why can't this just be a dream) And when I think I'm safe you are right behind me Ready to strike me Daddy I wish I could run away, and never feel your hand again Oh no, daddy's drunk again, and I've made a mess, why did I make a mess? I try to hide in my room but he calls me out, why is daddy so mad at me? I didn't mean to upset you, I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me I didn't mean to upset you, I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me As you run away into the dark, you fall on your knees, begging Father please Be the dad I never had Be the dad I never had In this broken home I stand Staring at a blank wall that has been smashed in I feel as though I am looking into a mirror Of what's inside of me, (of what's inside of me) Your hates inside my head Your hates inside my head
