Appeasement
Deeply engraved,
I learned it young
I haven't lost it as of yet
You think I would learn,
Think I would give up
No one's ever satisfied after all
No matter what I do,
I still hear the critism
It's not helpful, it just hurts
When I shouldn't care for them at all
Why work for something I'll never get?
I want approval from someone who doesn't understand
They never will
And I'm tired of trying to appease someone
Who doesn't pay attention
I learned it young
I haven't lost it as of yet
You think I would learn,
Think I would give up
No one's ever satisfied after all
No matter what I do,
I still hear the critism
It's not helpful, it just hurts
When I shouldn't care for them at all
Why work for something I'll never get?
I want approval from someone who doesn't understand
They never will
And I'm tired of trying to appease someone
Who doesn't pay attention
