You're Not a Failure, but Don't Think You're Doing it Right

(Verse 1)
I tell you my darkest secrets
And all you do is yell and cry
I give you all my trust
And you proceed to snap it in half
But "You can tell me anything!"
And "You're not a disappointment!"
Are the words embedded in my ears
Playing over and over just like all your other lies

(Chorus)
"I'll always be here for you"
"It's just, you aren't the same"
"I promise I'll always love you"
"You're confused, it's just a phase"

Your "How was your day?"s and "I love you"s
Don't concern me anymore
It seems you're just going through the motions
Of what a good parent should do
Yes, you may have birthed me
But you sure have stopped raising me
I'm still a child and I need support
Especially with no one else to give me any

(Chorus)
"I'll always be here for you"
"It's just, you aren't the same"
"I promise I'll always love you"
"You're confused, it's just a phase"

(Bridge)
Please believe me when I say
Your words mean everything
And also nothing to me
There's way too much on my plate
I'm about to be sick
My stomach can't digest it all

(Chorus)
"I'll always be here for you"
"It's just, you aren't the same"
"I promise I'll always love you"
"You're confused, it's just a phase"

Hey guys! I wrote this a little while ago, but I never posted it because it was in a journal that I use for English in school. So yeah, not much of an authors note lol. Hope you have a great day! 💟💟
