I wish I could be perfect
Like you want me to be
Believe me if I could I would
Be everything you think you see in me
I really do try my hardest
To be everything you require
I really do want to make you proud
Its one of my greatest desires
When you were my age, maybe you didnt
Make some of the mistakes I do.
With flying colors and a smile on your face
You always skimmed right through.
And Im sorry Im not as popular as you were
Im sorry I mess up sometimes
Im really sorry that I cant live up to you
Im sorry that I hurt inside.
Im sorry Im not the perfect daughter
Im sorry I ever messed up your life
I really want to be something, like you were
The perfect role model, perfect genius and
Someday a perfect wife.
But I wonder, if when Im older
And these childhood years are in the past
If you will see past my mistakes
And accept me as your daughter at last.
I really want to know if, ten years from now
Youll still hate me for my goof ups
I wonder if youll still be oblivious
To every single triumph.
And I wonder if youll ever know
All the pain that youve caused me
The tears Ive cried, the dreams Ive feared
And all our stories carved on my body
I dont know if I have enough in me
To be all you demand
It would be so much easier if instead of force
Youd lead me hand in hand.
But I cant change the way you look at things
I cant rid you of your disgust in me.
The words you say still burn and sting
So much longer after youve said them to me
They may even hurt a little more
Than the new bruises round my face
The scars and bruises will fade
But the scars on my heart take longer to go away.
If you knew how much I long to be
In your good graces for just one day
If you knew how far I would go
To gain your pride, your well done
Your faith.
You know I can never be as good as you are
You count on it day by day
I know you enjoy putting me down
Telling me how I screw up in every way.
Well Im sorry you had me as a daughter
I guess you should have given me away
And though every day I try harder
Im proud of you is something you
Just wont allow yourself to say.
