letra de family shouldn’t hurt like this - my song (youtube)
(intro)
another night, same ceiling, same bed
rain on the glass while i replay what they said
house full of people, but i still felt alone
funny how you can feel homeless inside your own home
(verse 1)
they said, “respect your parents, they gave you everything.”
yeah, they gave me food, but they also gave me pain i can’t explain
smiles at the table, then shouting in the hall
plates on thе floor, i still remember how thеy’d fall
i learned to walk quiet, read the room fast
check their mood first, hope the anger doesn’t last
if i ever spoke up, they said i was rude
so i swallowed my truth just to keep the “peace” in the room
people look from the outside, say, “you had it good.”
big house, clean clothes, nice place, good food
but they never saw me shaking in that dark small sp-ce
trying not to cry so i wouldn’t “disgrace” the place
the pain that begins with family never truly ends
it hides in your chest, it shows up when you least expect
i was just a kid, trying not to break
calling that place “home” felt like a mistake
(chorus)
family shouldn’t hurt like this
why do i feel scared when they’re the ones i miss?
family shouldn’t hurt like this
if love is what they gave, why does it feel like this?
family shouldn’t hurt like this
family shouldn’t hurt like this
(verse 2)
now i’m older, but the past still talks
i hear their voices in my head when i try to walk
they said i’m ungrateful, said i turned cold
cause i pulled back, set lines, didn’t do what i was told
they don’t see the nights i’m awake with the lights off
rain on the glass, heart heavy like a cut off
thinking, “is it my fault? was i too weak?”
or did i just want a place where i could finally breathe?
a family whose members don’t care are just housemates
living side by side with a locked up face
same roof, same walls, but no real ties
just people sharing sp-ce, trading quiet goodbyes
i’m trying to heal, but i feel guilty too
like choosing myself means i’m somehow cruel
they say, “blood is blood, you don’t turn your back,”
but where were they when i broke, when the whole house cracked?
so i’m learning now that distance can be kind
that loving from afar can protect my mind
and even if they don’t get what i had to do
i’m choosing a future where i don’t feel used
(chorus)
family shouldn’t hurt like this
why do i feel scared when they’re the ones i miss?
family shouldn’t hurt like this
if love is what they gave, why does it feel like this?
family shouldn’t hurt like this
family shouldn’t hurt like this
(verse 3)
sometimes i break down in the car on the way home
music up loud so n0body hears my tone
i tell myself, “you did what you had to do,”
but the child in me still wishes someone came through
i think about birthdays, fights after cake
smiles in photos that were all half fake
i ask, “am i bad for wanting to feel safe?”
and the tears say “no,” but the doubt still stays
i’m tired of pretending it was all okay
tired of saying, “it wasn’t that bad,” just to keep them safe
this is me finally saying what i never could:
it wasn’t love if it didn’t do me any good
(chorus)
family shouldn’t hurt like this
i’m done blaming myself for the scars they missed
family shouldn’t hurt like this
blood doesn’t mean i’m safe just because we coexist
family shouldn’t hurt like this
family shouldn’t hurt like this
family shouldn’t hurt like this
family shouldn’t hurt like this
(outro)
another night, same ceiling, same bed
but now i’m learning not to live inside their heads
maybe home isn’t where i came from, but where i heal
where love doesn’t cut, and my fear can finally kneel
just because they’re family doesn’t mean they’re safe
i’m still broken, but i’m walking to a safer place
