am i doing something wrong


am i doing something wrong

please tell me

i’m trying my best

i’m trying

to make you proud, to learn to grow

but everytime i try i get knocked down 

why

please help me

am i the problem

why can i never see you smile anymore

why are we always fighting

i need you but everytime i reach out you never see me

you never see me for me

i’m not the perfect person you think i am

but i’m trying

am i not allowed to make a mistake

am i not not enough

please tell me what you want

please go back to how you used to be 

i miss you

if i am doing something wrong i’ll change

i’ll change anything for you

i don’t want to leave you

but i’m forced

i don’t want to leave 

but you keep pushing
