[Intro]
(soft…)
Why it always loud when I’m tryna sleep…
⸻
[Chorus]
I hear yelling through the walls at night
Cover ears but it don’t feel right
I’m just a kid, I don’t know who’s right
I just wish we didn’t always fight
Tears fall but I stay real quiet
Don’t want nobody to see me like this
If love real, why it sound like pain?
Why our house feel like the rain…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I be sitting in my room alone
Holding pillows, staring at my phone
Tryna play games just to drown it out
But I still hear every scream and shout
Mama crying, daddy walking out
I don’t even know what it’s about
I just know it make my heart feel weak
Every time I hear my mama speak
Teacher asked me why I’m so quiet
I just shrugged, I ain’t even try it
How I’m supposed to tell her what’s wrong
When I don’t even know where I belong?
⸻
[Chorus]
I hear yelling through the walls at night
Cover ears but it don’t feel right
I’m just a kid, I don’t know who’s right
I just wish we didn’t always fight
Tears fall but I stay real quiet
Don’t want nobody to see me like this
If love real, why it sound like pain?
Why our house feel like the rain…
⸻
[Verse 2]
I remember when we used to laugh
Family dinners, we was happy back
Now it’s silence or it’s loud and mean
Ain’t no in-between, it’s just scenes
Sometimes I wish I could disappear
Maybe then they wouldn’t fight in here
Maybe I’m the reason things go wrong
Maybe I just don’t belong…
I drew a picture of us smiling big
Gave it to ‘em like a hopeful kid
They said “thank you,” put it to the side
Went right back to arguing that night…
⸻
[Bridge]
If I cry… would they hear me?
If I speak… would they see me?
I don’t need toys… I don’t need things…
I just want my family…
⸻
[Final Chorus – fragile, breaking]
I hear yelling through the walls again
Wish I knew how all this started then
I’m just a kid, I don’t understand
Why love hurt inside this home we in…
Tears fall but I stay real still
Tryna act like it don’t feel this real
If love real, why it feel so cold…
Why I feel so small… alone…
