You dont know me
so please dont pretend
sure you know my name,
my grades, even my health history
but do you know how i feel
when i ly in bed at nite?
you want some insight?
truth is i try not to feel
so instead i just cry
cause im trying
but i cant be perfect
and im always sorry
I know youd be happier
if i was like her
but im not
so maybe get to know the real me
who i am inside
the feelings i now hide
cause you dont like them
maybe youd be happier if i left
it sure feels like it
and you think i dont appreciate you
well i feel the same way too
but you dont know that do you?
cause now instead of fighting
and having world war III
i sit back and bite my tongue
breath in the tears for later
and listen
trying to understand
yet knowing i wont
cause it doesnt connect
never makes sense
are you worried?
theres really no reason
I can handle it
as long as you believe in me
but you dont
i think you gave up
i dont know when it happened
but suddenly you werent my biggest fan
you became my judge and scoreboard
deciding if i did it right
and marking it all wrong
i just want you to be proud
and i used to know you were
but lately i dont hear praise
its been awhile since i heard good words
and i dont know what to do
because although im your little girl
i cant make your dreams come true
