Fathers Want Sons

Fathers want sons
It's all I've ever known
My dad had two girls
And swore God would give him a son
I grew up in the shadow of a boy who did not exist
Until he did
Cause fathers want sons
I'm just now coming to terms
With the fact that God likes girls

I can't make you want me
(I can't make you want me)
I can only be me
(I can only be me)
Want more more as less of me
More like the girl that you dream of
I can't make you want me

I don't know what lovers want
But it's probably not me
So when you start packing up your things
It's not surprising
I spent so long trying to be what people want
But I only know
That fathers want sons
Just a little artifact from childhood
Still haunts me

I can't make you want me
(I can't make you want me)
I can only be me
(I can only be me)
Want more more as less of me
More like the girl that you dream of
I can't make you want me
No I can't make you love me

Anytime anyone says they want me
I find it so hard to believe
Darling I know it's crippling to deal
With all of my insecurities
I try to move on
But there's a kid in me singing this song

I can't make you want me
(I can't make you want me)
I can only be me
(I can only be)
Want more more as less of me
More like the girl that you dream of
I can't make you want me
I can't make you want me
