Do You Get What You Want

Do you get what you want when I cry
Everytime you say good bye
Every harsh word you say
Pushing me farther away
Making me feel so down
Making my face a constant frown
Your words so vile
Killed my smile
Made it hide
Deep inside
I know you care
But your love is never fair
Showing more each day
Why I should run away
And find a place to stay
Where I'll be okay 
I'll be home then 
I'll never fear you again
