Parents

You say you were not
born yesterday
So why are you shocked
by the things I say

I'm not gonna suck up
or lie to you
I'll give it to you straight up
if you really want the truth

What do you want from me?
What is it you need?
Why can't you see
that what you see is inside of me

I'm sorry I'm not the daughter
you always dreamed of
I'm sorry life isn't easier
and not full of love

You seem to blame me
for whatever goes wrong
I jus want to be free
and eventually be gone
