You were never easily impressed

Always hated the way I dressed

Ashamed I dressed like a boy when I was your daughter

But no matter what I did I received no love from my father

Can't help but flinch

As I remember those druken hits

I still tried to be a good kid

No matter what you did

I tried so hard to win some parental love

But for you it was never enough

I just wanted to make you proud

But where are you now?

Guess nothing I did could make you stay

So now I'm here wonderin day after day

What I coulda done right

Maybe if we just had one less fight

Maybe if I didn't dress like a dude

You'd love me too

Maybe if I acted like a girl

Then I'd mean something in your world

Maybe if I wasn't bullied in school

You wouldn't think of me as a fool

Made fun of me for never standing up for myself

But nothing I did ever helped

Guess it doesn't matter anymore

Cause you still walked out that door

I only have myself to blame

So I punished myself with pain

So when I sneak into the liquor cabinet

Or smoke another cigarette

Tell me are you proud

Of what I am now?

Not even gonna try

All I wanna do is die

Just tell me why

I was never good enough

To win your love

Fuckin answer me

What the fuck made you leave?

No matter how hard I tried

Every night I cried

Desperately thinking of what to do

To at least slightly impress you

To make you hate me a bit less

Doesn't matter cause you still left

I tried so hard to change

But you still brought me pain

Remember when I told you i was gay

Told me to permanently stay away

To get outta your life for good

Even though I did everything I could

To keep that from happening

You still hated me

Well fuck you dad

You have all the hatred I've ever had
