Not What I was Hoping for- Hayleigh Robertson (Original)

incase you weren't listening to me in the beginning, i wrote this in my creative writing class senior year. it's a dramatized version of how i viewed my parents before they divorced, and kinda leads to why they divorced.
LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD. :)
you guys should ask me questions, and i'll dedicate a video to answering them. mkay? cool.
here's the lyrics.

VERSE 1
my mother is a ticking time bomb, ready to explode
and once my father comes home, guess what she unloads
yelling and screaming and all thats in between
it's quite disconcerting for me at age fifteen
CHORUS
i can't do this anymore
this is not what i was hoping for
i can't do this anymore
this is something i just can't ignore
VERSE 2
he then strikes at her face with his beefy hand
but it cannot replace
the fact he's no longer "the man"
he feels he has to compensate for the job he's done
but being a father and a husband is better said than done
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3
she realizes his weakness and at it she starts to pick
i can't stand this much longer, i feel i'm getting sick
watching them act like children over something unknown
if they keep this up, then they'll both end up alone
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
why, oh why, do you make me suffer
i can try but it's getting tougher

and then i kinda just bullshitted the end.
i love you all. thanks for being great.
