Padrastro

I can feel my heart beating beneath my chest,
Why do you scream at me? All I do is my best.
My life is a nightmare, only I am awake,
Why was it my fault? Where was my mistake?

Sometimes it's OK, sometimes you're alright,
Sometimes you don't get angry and we won't fight.
But when something goes wrong, you never can help,
You'll always hurt me again, and you will make me yelp.

I give you love, but you don't care.
Why do I have to live like this? It just isn't fair.
Why is it you bring these tears?
Why is it I have to live in fear?

I just don't know how to heal these scars,
It's like I'm a prisoner and can't break through your bars.
Why do you have a hold over me? I feel like I can't leave.
One day I will grow strong, one day I will believe.

I wish I could do this,
My life could be so bliss.
Right now I have to stay here, the tears I will hide.
I feel like I'm slowly starting to die inside.
