Never Get A Say

Verse 1

Another door slams

Another voice raised high

I'm sitting in my room

Watching cars roll by

The walls are thin

But tension's twice as thick

Searching for peace

This air is making me sick

Every single night

The exact same routine

Right in the middle

A war zone scene

Pre-Chorus

Turn up the radio to drown them out

Close my eyes until the silence wins

I'm counting minutes while they scream and shout

Waiting for a life that finally begins

Chorus

I finally understand

Family ain't meant for me

Just another iron chain

Holding down my energy

Life is just a burden

When the walls start to cave

Trying to stay sane

Digging my own grave

They are arguing every day

And I never get a say

(I never get a say)

Verse 2

My opinion doesn't matter

I am background noise

Acting like I'm invisible

Like I don't have a choice

They talk at me

Treating me like a ghost

The ones who know me

Are the ones who hurt the most

Counting down the months

Counting down the years

Ready to pack my bags

Leave behind these tears

Pre-Chorus

Turn up the radio to drown them out

Close my eyes until the silence wins

I'm counting minutes while they scream and shout

Waiting for a life that finally begins

Chorus

I finally understand

Family ain't meant for me

Just another iron chain

Holding down my energy

Life is just a burden

When the walls start to cave

Trying to stay sane

Digging my own grave

They are arguing every day

And I never get a say

(I never get a say)

Bridge

One day I'll build a home

Where the quiet wins

Where the healing starts

And the yelling ends

I am more than just the sound

Of the fights they start

Holding onto pieces

Of my own heart

Chorus

I finally understand

Family ain't meant for me

Just another iron chain

Holding down my energy

Life is just a burden

When the walls start to cave

Trying to stay sane

Digging my own grave

They are arguing every day

And I never get a say

(I never get a say)
