I think you might've resented me from the moment my eyes first opened.
I think you probably resented me from the moment she left.
I think you maybe resent me because I act just like her.
Gone for five years, and came back and acted like you were expecting everything to run back to normal.

Hugs weren't enough
Kisses on the cheek weren't enough
Telling you I loved you wasn't enough 

You still took away every bit of joy and excitement I had when you came back

You still took away every piece of heart I saved for you, only giving five percent back.

So many chances, and minutes that I've waited for the day you change

But I'm never going to get that.

All I have of you is the shell that your face recreated,

genes.
