The so called "dad"

by stacey   Feb 26, 2009


I'm going to show you up
I'm going to make you see
that there's more to me than what you see and believe
I'm no longer going to be that puppet on a string
today's the day I'm breaking free
I'm not going to be a failure
I'm going to succeed
and I'll do it by myself, by being me
instead of trying to live up to your dreams
trying to be the daughter you always wanted me to be
why cant you see that i just wanna be me
just wait and you'll see
I'm going to try my hardest and do the best i can do
i don't care if its not god enough for you
I'm not what you thought i was going to be
the day i show you up will be the day you see that you were wrong about me
i have potential to be who i want to be
and when i succeed you'll realize you should have listened to me
you should have been there
you should have believed
but now it's too late, you'll spend the rest of your life wishing you could take it all back
wishing you could start over and pick up the slack
be the dad i always lacked
it hurts that you have no faith in me
I'll make it just you wait and see
I'll be everything you only wish you could be
i cant wait till i shove this in your face
because I'm not a mistake, and I'm not a disgrace,
I'm just a girl who knows her place
