To You

Oh now, aren't you such the friend
I think I liked you better then
Way back before your breath would smell
From kissing everybody's

I think you're better off alone
You've caused enough trouble at home
Your poor parents think they've raised
The perfect angel no mistakes

But I've seen what you are: A greedy monster
You take and take and waste it all
Do you know better
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do
Because I'm you

You're pretty selfish, but you're sad
Suck it up, it ain't that bad
Life's not that great right now it's true
But you've got lots ahead of you

And I want what you want: To be someone worth
Loving or even fighting for
Wouldn't that be something
I know you do, I know you do, I know you do
Because I'm you

You're not the best, but you're still good
So come on out from under that hood
You need to take care of yourself
She doesn't have anyone else

And I know who you are: you are a daughter
Someone with purpose and a way
To make things better
And I know you can, I know you can, I know you can
Because I am, because I am, because I am

This period of our lives
Makes us feel as though the world is ending
And sometimes it is
But we just keep on pretending
'Cause that's what adults do
But you don't need to
Because we'll make it out alright
