You gave me good steps to follow and I wish I could fill your shoes. I wish the apple fell closer to the tree. You gave me a branch to perch on but it's time for me to take control. This isn't about you, just gotta try life on my own.
And when I see fathers proud and smiling I choke from shame and grief, and only wish I could be a source for your relief. We've both done each other so much wrong. I've made mistakes too big to fix. And maybe regardless of what I want, we just don't mix.
And if you knew about my songs maybe this would mean something to you. The only thing I care about, the only thing I wanna do, the only thing that sets me apart, the only thing that makes me me....
Slowly spelling out my heart, for everyone to read.
And I'm sorry that I hurt you, and I'm sorry that I let you hurt me, but your little girl is gonna change the world. You'll see...
