Parent Lyrics

Parent lyrics

would I lie to you if it

meant me going down too?

would I be losing
you if I

pushed too far



my throat is raw

my eyes are
sore

all this shouting and screaming going on

tugging and pulling
on my youth

just trying to get the truth



is this the way
it's always been

can't change your point of view

God is good and
this is true



what have I left behind

oh loving parent

what do I hope to be one day

oh loving parent



would you
take me as I am

if I couldn't get it right

would you still hear me
out

if I spoke my mind

my heart is broken, my mind confused

all these expectations way too high



tugging and pulling at the
truth

just trying to understand my youth

is this the way it's meant
to be

can you change your point of view

God is good and this is
true



what have I left behind

oh loving parent

what do
I hope to be one day

oh loving parent



what have I now
become

oh hated daughter

what have I now become

beloved son
