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
