I try to hide the pain
Inflicted on myself, why can't I be the same?
As everybody else? I used to be confused
You helped me find my way
And now you break me down
To, satisfy yourself
Is this the only way, only way
And why can't I sing my soul, without paying a price
And why can't I be forgiven, for all mistakes I've made
Oh father please, father please
I'm trying to make a way
I promise you, you'll never know, that I tried so hard to change
I try to speak my mind; I wish that you could hear
The voices held inside, that tell you how I feel
Yeah you should shoot me down, to make way for your own
If it would make a difference, or make the house a home
Oh father please, come at me
To make this go away, I promise you, you'll never know
That I tried so hard to change
