I Didn’t Ask To Be Here

Born only to be an extension of you
And forced to live someone else's life
Feeling like I never had the option
Because bloods thicker than water, right?

Tried to stand up straight
Tried to look content
"Don't forget your manners
Wipe those tears from your face
Don't you embarrass me again"

I felt your venom in sickeningly sweet tones
Your disapproving gaze leaving scars on my skin again
Like roadmaps leading to who I could never be
No one that could ever make you happy

Am I pretty enough?
Do you love me now?
Am I smart enough?
Do you love me now
Look at me and tell me straight
Do you love me now?

I felt your venom in sickeningly sweet tones
Your disapproving gaze leaving scars on my skin again
Like roadmaps leading to who I could never be
No one that could ever make you happy

You're admiring your reflection
In shattered mirrors
Though broken lenses

I've killed myself to survive
And laid awake countless nights
Carrying the weight of this sorrow
All I ever wanted was your love
But now understand that you can't give what you never had

I want you to look me in my eyes and tell me if you love me now
Your baby girl grown into a beautiful disaster

You'll blame anything else
Except for yourself
For this pain that you've given me

Its not my fault, it never was my fault
Take a good look at yourself
