For so long I've wonder what it would feel like to be stabbed To feel the knife in my back as I fall slow
For so long I've long to be normal and to know how others feel I just wanted to be okay
For so long I wanted to stop crying or lashing out because that's not okay
My mom told me it's not okay
You see my mom didn't understand that when I come home and go straight to my room
I'm not okay!
But when she did that wasn't okay. I was crazy and defected That's how she saw me That's how I saw me
For so long to her I was a shadow unless she needed to vent You see we weren't related we were friends At Least that's what we pretended to be
So for so long I didn't understand love But when I did I didn't get enough
Maybe that's because I wasn't enough?
I didn't understand that people care for no reason That when someone says I love you it wasn't because they had to I didn't understand that people could just be happy hearing just a name
But when I did When I did I was scared
Who could love me Who would love me I was broken
I am broken
So I hurt people I was my mom for so long because who else could I be I couldn't be me She didn't want me to be
So I became her I was just a dream Someone made up
At least that was till I was real But no one knows No one knows
I want be me again I miss her so much She misses me too At least I think so
She doesn't answer anymore She just stares and lays there Or she just cries
But when the drugs hit she is alive She is here She is happy She is free But when they run out I'm back to me Who is me Who is me Who is me Who am I
