You came in yelling once again
Didn’t care if someone was still sleeping
You broke the silence like a storm
Left another one on the floor, barely breathing

I was there, trying to mend
What was left from dinner in the end
But you, always ready to ignite
As if loving meant picking a fight

How many times did I try to say
That no one learns when you shout that way?

Putting anxiolytics in my coffee
To deal with the morning aftermath
You say it’s just the way you speak
But someone’s crying out back

Putting anxiolytics in my coffee
'Cause breathing alone won’t do
Every morning’s a battlefield
And all I wanted was peace with you

I'm not judging, but someone should
Remind you pride ain’t a badge for good
You wear it in every single fight
Leaving wounds you think are right

You call it just letting off steam
But your steam cuts deep like a scream
You claim it’s passion, raw and wild
But love doesn’t burn down a child

Is listening really that hard for you?
Or do you only hear when we’re through?

Putting anxiolytics in my coffee
To numb the things you leave behind
Between broken plates and bitter lines
This family’s turning into a sigh

Putting anxiolytics in my coffee
Pretending it’s all just fine
But if no one tames your storm
I’ll be the one cleaning up every time

Look around, see who’s still here
Not every love survives the fear
If you still care, lower your tone
Cause no one should fight to feel at home

Putting anxiolytics in my coffee
Trying to swallow what won’t go down
You may not see it, but it hurts
When we fake a smile just to stay around
Putting anxiolytics in my coffee
And holding my scream so I won’t shout
But one day I might just walk away
If you don’t learn to hear me out
