You're bashing my head, Because I cut my skin. You're leaving me for dead, Because I didn't let you in. You're slicing me open, But I do that to myself. I am not a pretty picture You can place upon your shelf. Well, I'm sorry that I'm burning. Well, I'm sorry that I died. Well, I'm sorry that you think I will run To you if you hold your arms open wide. I know you think that you're helping, But honestly, you're not. I know you wanted a perfect daughter I'm sorry I'm what you got. Stop trying to bandage my wounds. Just leave my cuts and gashes. I know you want me to rise again, But I'm better off as ashes.

Born to Fail
You're bashing my head, Because I cut my skin. You're leaving me for dead, Because I didn't let you in. You're slicing me open, But I do that to myself. I am not a pretty picture You can place upon your shelf. Well, I'm sorry that I'm burning. Well, I'm sorry that I died. Well, I'm sorry that you think I will run To you if you hold your arms open wide. I know you think that you're helping, But honestly, you're not. I know you wanted a perfect daughter I'm sorry I'm what you got. Stop trying to bandage my wounds. Just leave my cuts and gashes. I know you want me to rise again, But I'm better off as ashes.
