I Just Want to Make You Happy

(These are actually lyrics to a song I wrote for my mom, who never seems to be satisfied with the things I do.)

It wasn't supposed to be this way
I'm just tryitrying live my life
But you hurt me more and more everyday
Each word cuts like a knife

They say home is where the heart is
God knows my heart ain't heree
I gets so much harder to be around you
With each and every tear

And I
I just wanna make you happy
Put your arms around me
Let me know it'll be okay
Wipe away the tears
Because tomorrow is another day
I just wanna make you happy

I try hard to be the person
You want me to be
Heads up, just so you know
I can only be me

I know you have dreams for me
But let me tell you so do I
But those dreams don't seem all that great at night
When all you can do is cry

And I
I just wanna make you proud
I know I disappoint you
And I know I bring you down
But I can't be here anymore
Because it hurts when you're around

I know we've been down this roadad
Half a million times
But it's getting harder everyday
Just trying to get by

And I
I just want you to love me
I wanna know at the end of the day
That you'll still be there
To hug me and to hold me
And let me know that you still care

And I
I just wanna make you happy
