The ones

Aren't you afraid to be alone?

It's like a goodbye gift
He's not here but the trauma is
He's not here but I have the scars
They stuck with me as the time passed

It's like I'm cursed with it
I see myself in parts of him
I have his eyes when I'm in fear
And when I lose my temper

How can someone expect so much
When they're less than a tear is worth
When their love always has a price
And their lies keep on getting worse

Are they not ashamed?
To keep living their lives this way
To keep on blaming everyone
For each one of their own mistakes
Aren't they dismayed?

Cause you're all we do not want to be
You're treating children as sins
You measure worth by us being your flunkies

And you're the ones we're trying to please
Until we see we can't win
And realize you're the reason we're haunted

Just like that one last kiss
Looks nice but feels so bittersweet
Too soon you'll be drowning in it
Wishing you could turn back time

You make good memories
But they get covered bit by bit
Cause they won't change and they won't hear
So you go back to the start

How could they ask us for so much
When all they are is not enough
When nothing that they do is kind
And all the say is meant to hurt

How are they not phased
To be the reason we're in pain
To break our hearts all of the time
And make us pray we're not the same
Aren't they afraid?

Cause you are all we try not to be
You treat your children like sins
You have no morals to act like you want them

And you're the ones we're tired to please
Because we know we won't win
Because we know you're the thing that will haunt us

You're the ones
Oh oh
You're the ones
Oh oh

You're the ones we strive not to be
He made it harder for me
It being easy was all that we wanted

And you're the ones we're tired to please
Because we know we won't win
Because we know you're the thing that will haunt us

You're the ones
Oh oh
You're the ones
Oh oh
You're the ones
Oh oh
You're the ones
Oh oh
