Late at night while you all sleep I am up and awake Trying to hide the sound of my weep So much goes through my head As I sit on my bed all alone The way you treat and talk to me The way you don't want me to be grown You used to always say I was your special baby but as the years have gone by I noticed it's just one of the many lies you've told me I will always remember The fact that you weren't there for me I had to raise myself And I am proud of what I've come to be Some of the things you say to me Are things I never thought I'd hear They are things I've come to expect But they are things I'll always fear I am really sick of this You are so unfair to me I know you like Amanda more But I'm a better person can't you see? I always had this thought That you were the best But after how you've been to me I realize you're no better than the rest You've put me in a bad position I hate where I am right now You seem to like it I want to get away from you and don't know how I look at you You seem not to care How can you not notice How can your heart be so bare? Do you not understand How much I've been through? I want to move on and get over it But it's like I can't because of you There are days when I awake I just don't want to see the light of day I don't want to go through the pain That you inflict in every way I have never felt this before I feel really mean But you brought this on yourself And you deserve what I've seen I honestly never thought I could feel this way I also truly thought These are things I'd never say You are my Dad That you'll always be But to have you in my future That's not what I foresee These are my emotions Put on show for you I know you won't believe them So I'm saying trust me, they are true.
