It makes me feel bad
To push you away
But what else am I to do?I'm your daughter,
I'm your subject (you loyal, royal subject)
I'm your disappointmentTo mom:
I know you love me
I know you careI know you miss me
But you're only somewhat thereYou try your best
I know, you do
So I don't want to bother youTo P:
You say you love me
But how do you show it?
Rare treats, small favors
But I don't get it"I'm above you, no matter what"
You use it as an axcuse
You put us to work
Sometimes I hate to hate you
But I'm sorry, I just can't
You morals contradict mine
You're a lot of things that annoy meShut me down
Laugh in my faceCrush my dreams
Fine
But don't say you're perfectDon't say your flawless
Oh honey, you have no ideaYou hurt me, you did
But it's not like I can talk to you about it
No matter if how much you encourage me to
Because what do you do?You shut me down
Laugh in my face
Crush my dreams
I'll admitSometimes you care
You try to change
But...I don't know
Maybe for the less important things
The ones that matter less to meSo I've stopped trying
I'm sorry but I have
It hurts me but I have
Maybe you didn't mean to but you have
