My Original Songs

What's Best

I'm

Just trying to do what's best

For me

I

I can finally see what you stole

From me

You stole my direction

You stole my big heart

You took my giant smile

And ripped it apart

How do you know what's best for me?

You don't know because you're family

I bet I'm getting yelled at on Monday

It's always the same

I'm my own person

I'm not your kid anymore

I've grown past you

And maybe the rest of this world

So how do you know what's best for me?

You don't know because you're family

Tired eyes

Dried tears

I've been suffering alone

For three or two years

Succumb to the darkness

Live in my bed

No one will miss me

Until I'm dead

How do you know what's best for me?

You don't know because you're family

I bet I'm getting yelled at on Monday

It's always the same

I'm my own person

I'm not your kid anymore

I've grown past you

And maybe the rest of this world

So how do you know what's best for me?

You don't know because you're family

Another dissapointed

I made you cry again

I didn't think this would happen

I thought you liked them

I thought I was the kid who ruined marriage

I didn't think you cared

All that much

Maybe I'll never be the perfect child

Not for you

Or dad

Or no one

Maybe you know what's for me

Because you're my family

I bet I'll get yelled at on Monday

Oh it's always the same

I'm my own person

But I'm your kid

I'm still trying to grow up

Like you did

Maybe you know what's best

For me

Maybe it's because

You're family
