Mother how do I tell you
I don't know how to be happy,
without you getting angry?

Father how do I tell you
I don't have any tears left,
without you crying for me?

Mother how do I tell you
I just want you to be proud,
without you making that face

Father how do I tell you
I miss you more than I say,
without you saying it back
