She says she's not comparing me, but we all know who she wants me to be.
Very athletic and book smart, but since I'm not a hundred percent like that, it's breaking her heart.
Maybe if she took time to raise me, she would also have time to praise me.
Maybe she would've let me have more toys if I just followed after the boys.
Maybe I wouldn't be this numb if she would just stop calling me dumb.
Maybe if she treated me like a special token, my heart wouldn't be this broken.
It's not like she's my lover, I just wanna feel loved by my mother.
A few years ago she met this guy, and all the attention she gives him makes me wanna cry.
Maybe if I bother her, she won't forget about her daughter.
