I'm Only Human (version 2)

You are perfect, you never make mistakes . . It's always me . . You always try to fix me and point out everything I do, Is there any grace? Correction unto perfection . . I don't want to settle for less, But I'm giving my best . . And it's never enough . . All I ever do is let you down . . What must I do to satisfy you? - become you? Can't I be myself, have my own life, Make my own decisions, have my own convictions . . I'm old enough now to own what I believe, I'm not disowning you, but we won't agree on everything . . I'm not a people pleaser anymore . . There is responsibility on my part . .

I don't know why 18 year old me loved the double ellipses instead of the grammatically correct triple ellipses; I was weird - still am.
