• My heart was in so much pain
    And again I came to you
    Tears streaming down
    I told you the story
    All you could tell me was the other person’s side
    I don’t need that
    I don’t need that
    Not when I’m in the state
    Then you start yelling
    Accusing me of not listening
    I’m trying mama, I’m trying
    Where is the “it’s going to be ok”?
    Where is the hug?
    Then you holler,
    “SHUT UP!” over and over again
    Calumnies galore
    Treating me like I’m stupid
    But in return telling me I’m treating you like you’re stupid
    Complaining I’m hurting you
    Complaining I’m not open enough to you
    Mama, I know you’re not stupid
    And I really do love you
    But when you treat me like this
    Why would I want to tell you all that pains me?
    Why do I keep thinking you will be different next time I cry?
