I'm ripped apart,
I'm too broken
please don't tear me down
more than I can handle.
Please don't look at me
with the hate in your eyes, mom.
I'm scared, mom,
please don't break me
so I can't pick myself up.
I'm like a deer on the road
and you don't mean to hurt me.
You love your daughter
but you can't like me.
I'm sorry I'm a let down.
I'm sorry I couldn't fix you.
It doesn't help nothing does
so leave me to pick up my pieces.
I will make you proud,
I promise I won't let you down.
Please don't talk down to me,
we could have figured things out,
it's too late now.
I would love to tell you,
but every time I sit there
and pretend things never happened,
it breaks me.
