Not Good Enough Today

And I'm so sorry I can't be
All the things you want from me
But Daddy why can't I be good enough right now?

I'm sorry if I'm so stuck up
And unlike your sons, I'm not that tough
but Daddy why can't I be good enough right now?

Tell me I'm walking on the wrong path
Yell at me because I'm failing math
But Daddy why can't I be good enough right now?

I try my best and don't succeed
Do all the things you think I need
But Daddy why can't I be good enough right now?

You lie and say that you're so proud
Then turn around and yell real loud
Daddy why can't I be good enough right now?

Say I need to learn to use my brain
And when I don't you start to complain
Daddy why can't I be good enough right now?

Accuse me of always hating you
Saying things you know aren't true
Daddy why aren't I good enough right now?

Hate me for the way I dress
Loading me with all this stress
Daddy why aren't I good enough right now?

Ignore me then, for days on end
Because these smiles are just pretend
Daddy why aren't I good enough right now?

Say you yell because you care
But in truth, you're just never there
Daddy I wish I could be good enough right now

Expectations piled to the top
Bad accusations don't ever stop
Daddy I wish I could be good enough right now

Every time you see me cry
Anger is your first reply
Daddy I wish I could be good enough today

Hiding away from you in the dark
All your yelling has left a mark
Daddy I'm not good enough today

What would you say if you saw my arm?
Would you hate me more for my self-harm?
Because Daddy, I'm just not good enough today..
