My Apologies

As a child - my parents lovingly
told me what to think and feel - obediently
I knew they loved me - in their own peculiar way
children can’t be heard - just do what parents say

As I grew up - I just wanted to please
To be the best within their rules - that I could be
but their rules just made it hard for me to be
and it’s hard to live a lie that isn’t me

I struggled to - fit the mould they made
I struggled to - fit in every way
I knew I couldn’t hide no more
it was time for me - to step outside their door

My Apologies - I’m not your dream
My Apologies - I’m not who I seem
My life is mine alone - to me I must be true
My apologies - - - for not being you

I fell in love - as people always do
He was everything I thought I wanted too
I knew he loved me - in his own peculiar way
but in his world - I didn’t have a say

I struggled to - fit the mould he made
I struggled to - fit in every way
I knew I couldn’t hide no more
it was time for me - to step outside his door

My Apologies - I’m not your dream
My Apologies - I’m not who I seem
My life is mine alone - to me I must be true
My apologies - - - for not being you
