Why Did You Do It?

A symphony of screen doors Slamming on a sunday Surf the couch Don't come home till Monday Long car rides and short answers Each day we're going nowhere faster This had got to end but i don't know where To begin. And i feel so ashamed when you Call my name or when i walk through the Front door. Each holiday is a tragedy, You keep screaming at me and keep Swinging at me, and then you wonder why Jamie's gone but it's been Coming for so long. I'm so great at holding back tears in your Face, i wish you knew how this felt, But you could never understand. This is the fourth chapter of my confession, I Hope you read it. I'm leaving footprints in the Snow from all my painful secrets And i can't forget, how could i forget And i can't forget all of the things you said. The apple starting rotting, so i painted it red. And made a caricature it of myself to be The perfect daughter for the world to see. Sit still, stand up straight. Smile, wave, don't be late. Do exactly as i say or You won't live to see another day. Pressure builds diamonds, But it breaks them too. So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do Because it's just been weighing on my mind Stay here and die or run away and break I'm gonna take my one man army To the streets You can't stop me Don't even try You can't stop me Don't even try I wish i was never born I wish i was never born Never born I'm so great at holding back Tears in your face I wish you knew how this felt But you could never understand I'm so great at holding back Tears in your face I wish you knew how this felt But you could never understand This is the fifth draft of my confession I hope you read it Ive left my footprints in the snow with all My painful secrets Mom and dad; I'm sorry things Had to be this way I loved you both so much And i really wish things were different I feel so guilty, but i cant take this anymore The abuse; physical and mental. I'm leaving You but please just answer me this question; Why did you do it?
