The mask I wear,
Suffocates me,
Until I feel like dying.
Trying to be the daughter you want,
It’s the failure I need,
I should have given up long ago.
Your standards too high,
So I can't jump over them,
Have to cheat and go under,
Because I’m trying to be perfect.
So many standards,
Seems like so little fun,
And it's not fair the way you treat her.
I get the tough job,
But go easy on her,
Of course, that makes tons of sense.
Trying to be perfect,
And coming out as a failure,
Sometimes trying is the first step
To losing it all.
And how I’ve tried,
Tried so hard,
Everyone can see,
So why can't you?
