From Day One
From day one I never understood you
One minute you were loving
The next i couldn't stand you
I can't even remember that much about you
But i just want you to know that I've always loved you
Maybe it's because I don't wanna remember the life i was handed
Protecting my little brother
Thinking i was helping you
Te amo mama but how could you
Is this what you wanted?
To give me everything but it never made me happy
I watched a bottle get thrown at your head
Do you remember that too?
I can't sleep at night
It's been like this for years
You just dismissed it saying it was the teenage years
I've wanted to die for just as many but your excuses still came
I asked for help and you dismissed it saying
"It's just adolescent angst"
You called me crying, asking why i hated you
You always made me choose someone's side
And you wondered why I wanted to commit suicide
I drank to forget everything that ever happened to me
I cut to let all my pain flow right out of me
I smoked to feel normal for once in my life
I swallowed those piles because I'm so sick of all of this
