You gave me good steps to follow And I wish I could fill your shoes I wish the apple fell closer to the tree You gave me a branch to perch on But it's time for me to take control This isn't about you, just gotta try life on my own And when I see fathers proud and smiling I choke from shame and grief And only wish I could be a source for your relief We've both done each other so much wrong I've made mistakes too big to fix And maybe regardless of what I want
We just don't mix And if you knew about my songs Maybe this would mean something to you The only thing I care about The only thing I wanna do The only thing that sets me apart The only thing that makes me me.... Slowly spelling out my heart For everyone to read And I'm sorry that I hurt you And I'm sorry that I let you hurt me But your little girl Is gonna change the world You'll see... You'll see
