I tried so hard to be who you wanted me to be
But now I know that it will never be good enough for you
I wish I could,
for once in my life,
Make you proud
I can’t change the past
And make things right
I only wish you knew how much I hate myself for it
I can’t be perfect
I’m sorry if what I do isn’t good enough for you
And if you disapprove it only makes me feel
Like I have failed you once again
I’m sorry I didn’t turn out to be the person you expected
But I can’t change who I am
I will never be you and I know that is what you want
But it isn’t going to happen
Did you know you I used to wish I could be like you?
That isn’t the case anymore
How can I be like someone who is always trying to change me?
I can’t
I will never be good enough for you
No matter how hard I try
It is never enough
I don’t know if I will ever make you proud
