Parent
Tell me I’m ungrateful
And tell me I’m screwed up
Tell me I try too hard
Or not hard enough
Tell me who I am
Judge me by my clothes
Or get to know me
But don’t do both
Tell me that I’m fat
Say I need to lose weight
Tell me that you love me
When all I see is hate
Tell me that I’m ugly
Tell me to change my look
Tell me not to judge
Just by the cover of a book
Listen to your own words
And see how foolish you sound
Finally figure it all out
And I won’t be around
Tell me to leave
Then tell me not to go
Tell me that I’m kind
Then deny so
Tell me not to label
Stereotype me a name
Tell me to feel proud
Then tell me to feel the shame
Tell me that you’re helping
And maybe then I’ll laugh
Tell me to calm down
As you began to feel my wrath
Tell me to get new friends
Tell me mine are bad
Tell me to give people
All i've ever had
Tell me I’m hurtful
Tell me I’m cruel
Call me an idiot
When your the fool
Boss me around
See if I care
Because the one day you'll relize you'll need me
But I wont be there
And tell me I’m screwed up
Tell me I try too hard
Or not hard enough
Tell me who I am
Judge me by my clothes
Or get to know me
But don’t do both
Tell me that I’m fat
Say I need to lose weight
Tell me that you love me
When all I see is hate
Tell me that I’m ugly
Tell me to change my look
Tell me not to judge
Just by the cover of a book
Listen to your own words
And see how foolish you sound
Finally figure it all out
And I won’t be around
Tell me to leave
Then tell me not to go
Tell me that I’m kind
Then deny so
Tell me not to label
Stereotype me a name
Tell me to feel proud
Then tell me to feel the shame
Tell me that you’re helping
And maybe then I’ll laugh
Tell me to calm down
As you began to feel my wrath
Tell me to get new friends
Tell me mine are bad
Tell me to give people
All i've ever had
Tell me I’m hurtful
Tell me I’m cruel
Call me an idiot
When your the fool
Boss me around
See if I care
Because the one day you'll relize you'll need me
But I wont be there
