I'm Sorry

In attempts to protect me, you hurt me with your own actions and words. Maybe these 25years saw you through to be a waste of your time, but I tried. I guess I'll never be good enough for you or who you've always intended me to be. Don't you see that I'm no longer chasing my own dream or hoping for what I truly desire. I'm fulfilling YOUR dreams, living through your mistakes. I am but your shadow. Speechless towards the way you treat me now, I just want to crawl away and hide. We are so near yet so far. Would you just take a look at me and see me for who I really am and not a shadow of what you are or what you want me to be? I've come so far, only to be disappointed by your words. I give up.

Hey Dad/Mum look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according
To plan?
Do you think I'm wasting
My time doing things I
Wanna do?
But it hurts when you
Disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be
My hero?
All the days
You spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't
Care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good
Enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing' alright

Nothing's gonna change
The things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this
Right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be Perfect
