Mixed Memories

I looked at you and smiled the other day 
I thought you would see me but you didn't 
I said i love you to say it back to me 
I thought you would hear me but you didn't 
I needed you to talk you my thoughts to share 
I thought you want to but you didn't 
When you raised your hand and hit me 
I screamed for you to stop 
I thought you'd hear me but you didn't 
you never really ever listened to me dad
