He calls me son, you call me daughter Makes me feel like I’m treading water I’m not a warm up act or childhood dream And I’m so much more than what I seem
I know I fucked things up and let you down Just call me by my name so I don’t drown I tried to do things your way, and stand alone I thought I was flesh and blood, not skin and bone
It’s not a choice, I have a voice and it speaks louder, and you don’t care I’m not a freak, I may be weak but you never helped me, you weren’t there no, you weren’t there
You gave me up when I was born New into a body already worn Say you love me, say you want me to do well How can you say love me when you think I'm going to hell?
You had your final chance to call me your son But that's it, I'm gone, I am done Why would I need somebody who won't say my name I'm like that girl you loved, I am the same I just found my own way, had my own say, I grew up I chose my future, it's not easy, it was tough I didn't stick to the guildlines, fuck the sidelines I am more than that, Yeah
It’s not a choice, I have a voice and it speaks louder, and you don’t care I’m not a freak, I may be weak but you never helped me, you weren’t there no, you weren’t there
