When will it all change? Will it ever?

As Amanda walks back to town, she silently speaks to herself...

"He says it's just a cold, yet he asks me for a hug."

"He says he'll be alright, yet he tells me to be careful."

"He says he cares and looks at me like a daughter, yet he doesn't try to put it on paper."

"He says he won't promise me anything, yet I want him to promise he won't leave my side, but I can't tell him that."

"He says he wants me safe, yet my heart secretly breaks in the shadows every day."

"He says he loves me, yet he gets cross so easily, even when I do such a tiny thing wrong."

"I look to him as my father, yet if I tell anyone, they'll think me dumb."

"I've been made fun of for being an orphan, yet I'm not, I have people that love and take care of me... But they aren't my real family, and I'm not sure they ever will be."

"The world says it's morning, yet it turns to night so quickly... I constantly think 'today is the day', but so quickly that day is over and nothing has changed... Will it ever change for me? When?"
