Thoughts are expressed. This is very personal, it perfectly describes how I feel
Everything I do seems to be wrong
Leaves a bad taste in your mouth
Like a poorly written song
Why can't I learn how to do things right?
It would save me from trouble
When I cry myself to sleep at night
I always feel that I'll never be good enough
I've done all I can do
So I'll try to be tough
I know that things will never be the same
Until I can make it to where
You don't get sick by hearing my name
I want to make you proud
Like every daughter should
But sometimes I lay awake at night
Thinking that I'm no good
What can I do
To change your mind?
The perfect girl you're looking for
Is really hard to find
Maybe it would be better
If I wasn't here at all
It feels like no one is there
To catch me when I fall
Sometimes I look in the mirror
And see a disgraceful face
I think, "Would I be happy
If I left this place?"
For now I'll just keep hiding
Under my dark hood
Until that one day I make you proud
Just like every daughter should
