The girl you never knew

Here I am,
The girl you never knew,
The one you called your daughter,
The one you promised your love too.
The girl who always laughed
But who\'s life was full of rain,
The girl who smiled and tried so hard,
But who\'s heart was full of pain.

I can say that you never knew me,
I can say you never tried,
To understand my heartache,
instead you let me hide.
Hide behind the mask I wore,
Just to make it through,
I was the girl who tried so hard,
But was never good enough for you.

Here I am,
the girl who just tried to pull though,
Here I am mom,
the girl you never knew.
