All I ever wanted
Was for you to love me.
Instead you criticize everything I do
You tell me you don’t trust me.
All I ever wanted
Was for you to stop yelling
Just for five minutes.
Now I’m locked in my room hiding from you.
All I ever wanted
Was for us to be close.
A mother that I could talk to.
Instead here I am wishing for five minutes of peace.
All I ever wanted
Was for us to be able to share experiences
But here I am counting the seconds until I can go to college and leave you.
Even though you hate me choices.
All I ever wanted
Was for you to listen to me
Instead I’m talking to my teddy bear
Crying myself to sleep.
All I ever wanted
Is now
Just a crushed dream.
