From the moment you learned how to speak
You slipped up and didn't watch out for yourself.
And the second you stood up and didn’t fall
You never learned to look out for yourself.
When you paid for my lunch without your own
I always thought you thought of yourself.
But scraped knees and twisted ankles are you
Through tears you didn't take care of yourself.
Through all the medals you loved to earn
You never truly believed in yourself.
Although through every fake smile you’ve shown
I saw you never did treat yourself.
So when I saw you cry for the first time,
I know I had to help you, help yourself.
