I was the bat girl in your ball park
And to the five and dime I'd bring
All the younger ones I took care of
While you dreamed big people things
All I wanted was your love
All those people that I was
Were just pieces of me, feathers
I plumed to bring us together
I acted out
With every man I met who shared your story
I tried to make each one see
What I always wished you could see
All I wanted was your love
All those people that I was
Were just pieces of me, feathers
I plumed to bring us together
Are these your dreams I see
in my own family?
And in what I've become
for your love?
I don't want to rock this boat
I'm not sure how much longer you'll live
You look so forward to heaven
Your reward is there, but I'm still here
And it's time I made my way in the world
Without messing up
But I hate the contrast when everyone but you
Knows who I am
Chorus
