I Long for the day: A Message for my Parents
SONG BY Siling-La

You see anger
When I feel hurt
And you cut deep
With every word

You see careless
When I'm overwhelmed
And it's the insults
That make me fail

I try to be honest
But you think it's all a lie


Do you know how much you hurt me
With every word you yell
I try to keep my anger inside me
Maybe that's why you can't tell
You make me want to hate you
When all I feel is love
You push me and you break me
And I take it silently
I just long for the day
When you and I will be family


You hear excuses
When I speak reasons
You think lies
Are what I'm breathing

You see hypocrisy
When I show faith
You think it isn't me
When I praise

You don't even know I sing
Because you don't care to see the real me


Do you know how much you hurt me
With every word you yell
I try to keep my anger inside me
Maybe that's why you can't tell
You make me want to hate you
When all I feel is love
You push me and you break me
And I take it silently
I just long for the day
When you and I will be family

How many pieces must I be in
For you to see I'm broken
Although you haven't lain a hand on me
Your speech makes me feel beaten
How can I live like this
How can I breathe like this
When you're suffocating me
I can't trust you
So now my friends are my family

Do you know how much you hurt me
With every word you yell
I try to keep my anger inside me
Maybe that's why you can't tell
You make me want to hate you
When all I feel is love
You push me and you break me
And I take it silently
I just long for the day
When my tears will be seen
I just long for the day

When you and I will be family
