[Verse 1] I don't think I can be all I want In the hearts of others "Be a gold star," they say, "be good For your father" Eldest daughter, you'll bear the weight [Chorus] Grow to hate Come out of it Left singing Oh please, show me mercy, mercy I just can't take this Shame, I wear it for you Ohh, you [Verse 2] I don't think I can be all I want In the hearts of others "Be a gold star," they say, “What a waste You never made it further"
