It's always the same with you
Day after day, I try and try
You want me to be this
I want to be that

We'll never reach a compromise
And neither of us will give in
You use guilt and small things
Just to get your way

But all the same
Time after time
I still know the truth
I'm still crying every time

I don't know why
I let you do this to me
Maybe it's because I'm
Supposed to love you

You're supposed to love me
To be proud of me when I try
To be willing to try to compromise
To be accepting of whatever may come

But I feel like you're frigid
Blocking me and my ideas out
Cold and unreachable
I wonder why I even try

I can't wait till it's my time
To spread my wings and fly
Leave this constricting nest
And soar into the endless blue sky

All I ever wanted was to
Make you happy and proud
Do the best I can for you
Be only myself whatever happened

It doesn't make sense
Why I can't be that way
Is it because, quite possibly
You just won't let me
