like mother like daughter

you could surely drown

in all the lies you've told

if the ***** don't sink you first

you'll be the  only one to burn

when your lighter flickers a flame too hot

you can't pay the bills or groceries

but you're willing to pay the price

for clinging to a man that was never yours

this is the role model you've become

I don't want to be just like my mommy anymore

 

-a.f.
