I wish, I wish I knew how to make you love me
Wish I had what she has, wish I could make you proud
I’ve tried so hard, and I’m so sorry
Please, don’t start again, I can’t take it

Lying here, trying to work out what I did wrong
Curled up on the sofa, crying whilst you scream at me
Covering my broken eyes with my hands
I’m so sorry, I’ll never do it again

Shouting at me, and all I can do is apologise,
Close my eyes and wait for you to get bored
I don’t even know what I did this time
Tears on my face and I just want to crawl away

I’m so sorry mummy, for not bring pretty enough
I never meant to get bad grades in school
I’m sorry I wasn’t as good as her,
I never meant to mummy, I never meant to

I’ll go and do my jobs now mummy,
Please, stop shouting, I can’t do this
One time too many, I’m so sad inside
I’m so sorry
I’ll do anything, please, just tell me that you love me
