I’d like to scream
And free myself from my growing irritation
To let it tear you apart
While dragging you into its bottomless damnation

For I’ve had this anger
Building up inside of me for a very long time
With a hint of resentment
That is urging me to punish you for your crime

I’d like to tell you
How much I’ve been hating things that you do
And how many times I’ve cried
While accepting that this is just always going to be you

I’m mad and disappointed
That you’ve made me feel this twisted way
Never learning to love wholeheartedly
And always expecting that loved ones will one day walk away

And everything I do for you
Is being overshadowed by the few things you do for me
Always acting like the better person
Whilst I‘m still waiting for a praise for something you don‘t even see

It’s so damn exhausting
Not being able to tell you how I really feel
Because if I ever confessed it
I honestly fear that you could lose me for real

And I’m only holding back
Because I could never truly leave you behind
Even if loving you isn’t always easy
I guess that every family is just destined to be one of a kind…
