I'm Sorry

I’m sorry I’m not perfect It pains me every day To know that I have failed you In every possible way. I try my hardest to please you To make you proud of me But it seems I have the opposite effect Failure is all that you see. I’m sorry I don’t do things your way That I don’t follow your every rule I’d like to do it my way But I’ll end up like a fool I’m sorry I’m not smart enough That I never do things right That I have my own agenda But you don’t care in the slight. I’m sorry I have to live for you To make you happy each day And when I don’t, you get mad And I never get a say. I’m sorry I want things my way I have my rights here too I’m of age here, you can’t own me And so I say, “fuck you!” I wish I could just tell you To shut the hell up, you see I have my own life to live It’s not yours, let me be. I’m not perfect, I admit it I’ll never get straight A’s But forgive me if I don’t like Your controlling, bitchy ways. I’ll do things differently than you I’m my own person, unique But you frustrate me all the time It’s something new each week. I wish I could say I love you But now I pull away I’m going to leave you very soon So be sure to count the days.
