lyrics

I've got something left to say.
How do you call this a family?

It sinks deep into my bones,
Something that I can't escape.
I used to think this was my home,
Now it's more than I can take.
This source of every problem,
Every issue that I face.
I'm not the man you thought that you owned,
I'm not the boy you thought you raised.

I will never be your idea of perfection,
Never be your golden standard.
I'm sorry I'm not the child you wanted.

Im not your trophy child,
I'm not everything you thought I would be.
But I'm trying my hardest,
I'll be something of worth.

I've never seen such hatred run so deep.
Why is this division something that we keep?
Are we so blind?

Something that I haven't told you,
What I can't seem to get out.
You don't love the way that you're shown,
Your mind is crippled in doubt.
I'm sorry for your mother's failings,
And the father who never got you.
But it all has hit the ceiling just like it used to.

We can't go on this way.
This is no family.
This is a tragedy.

Where's the love you said I'd find?
Where's the life you said I'd lead?

I'm not running, I refuse to be the victim.
I'm done hiding, I'm not your broken children.

I am not everything that you wanted,
And for that I am not sorry.
