No one wonders why
She sits alone to cry
Or what can be seen
In her tearing eyes.

I'm trying
I'm trying.
I promise, I'm not lying.
How can you not see?
Cause your always criticizing me
And telling me how I should be.
I'm crying cause I'm trying,
But you still think I'm lying.

I know I could do more,
I see with my eyes, we're growing poor.
I create, and you keep score
But I don't matter anymore.
I never did, did I.

Will I ever get a chance
To prove I am, I will, I can,
Be all these things which you demand,
Without a single helping hand.

You deserve nothing,
And whatever you get,
Was a long time coming.
