I'm sorry you came all this way, for you to stay.
Maybe there could have been something better,
Sorry for the displeasure.
Why?
You gave birth to a girl, thinking she'd be a pearl.
Perfect.
Was she?
What did you hope for?
A girl who enjoys dresses, instead I get stresses.
What else?
A modest girl, instead I got a dishonest girl.
I'm sorry.
Are you?
I can be.
I try, but instead I want to die.
Don't worry though, just hurry and tell me more.
She likes tattoos, what a taboo.
What happened to my little girl?
You tell me.
Perfect.
You know I'm sorry, right?
What a glory.
You don't believe me.
I guess I should flee.
I was supposed to be perfect.
I'm such a defect.
Let me list some things off,
Because why not?
You asked for a marvelous daughter,
Marvelous how?
She would play an instrument,
It was a detriment.
I don't think you asked for too much,
I just wasn't enough.
I'm ranting again.
Sorry.
