There's a pain that lives inside me
Even though I'm 3000 miles away.
I finally got away.
I tried for so long to be your perfect daughter.
I tried for so long to be what you wanted.
But I never was.
You didn't hug me before I left mother.
You didn't hug me before I left mother!
I'm not worthy of your love.
Mother I tried to make you proud.
But some things aren't who I am.
Why wasn't i never enough?
Mother I am far away now.
I wonder if you even miss me at all?
You didn't even hug me before I left mother....
now I ignore your calls.
