Can you?
You use to be my saviour
But now I do not want your help
I gave you your chance
And you threw it away
You didn’t understand me
Like I thought you might
You don’t know me anymore
We’re not as close as we use to be
Once upon a time you were my best friend
But now … Now you are only my mother
And that’s all you will ever be now
Your chance is up
Maybe you should’ve listened
I told you everything but still you didn’t get it
How couldn’t you have got it?
I poured my heart out to you
There was no need to read between the lines
I fucking explained it all
But you still didn’t get it
Why the fuck didn’t you see it?
It’s your fault I’m like this
All your fucking fault
Sometimes I hate you like never before
It’s been a long time since I’ve looked up to you
You’ve changed right in front of my eyes
Or maybe it’s just because I’ve grown up
I grew to see what you really are
You aren’t the person I always thought you were
I’ve become stronger than you’ll ever notice
And it’s all because of you, but you’ll never see
You’ve become to rely on me
The way I use to rely on you
It was never meant to be this way
I’m your daughter not your fucking counsellor
Go to a therapist not me!
I don’t need to hear about your problems
I’ve got enough on my fucking own
I wish sometimes you would shut your fucking mouth
I mean for god’s sake I’m only 16
Can’t you solve your own fucking problems?
I thought you were old enough to do it alone
Because I know I am
When I’m away I don’t miss you
Because you are never there for me
I can go it alone, and I have no other choice
But my question is
Can you?
