I tried hard to do things right
And I am still trying, but it's not enough,
Believe me, I want your admiration
Becoming an adult is tough.

Love is about overwhelming feelings
Being with who makes you happy
It should not depend on my parents
The amount of freedom they give me.

Want to be accepted with my flaws
Would never ask you to change
Love you exactly as you are
There is not one thing I'd rearrange.

I know nobody is perfect
Every person has weakness
At least I tried to be for you
Each day you gave less and less.

Want someone who would fight for me
I don't want anybody new
I am tired of being cast aside
I'll never be of equal importance to you.
People with big heart often don't get the same amount love they give in return.
