I guess I must
Apologize to you
I know it’s hard but
you know it is the truth

I guess I’m sorry
I can’t be what you want
But I’m not gonna change
Who I really am

And all I ever wanted
Was you to be proud
For you to approve
For you to love me

But you’re tearing me down
Killing me slowly
I’m falling to pieces
I’m losing the real me

And Im sorry if it hurts
I didnt mean to cause you pain
This really isnt easy
I need you to understand

Im losing my place
I dont know where I belong
I dont know where I’m going
And Im running out of time

I need to get back
to the girl I was before
I need to recognize
the face in the mirror

And you know
That’s how it always went
One thing you didnt like
and youd ask me to change

But Im tired of it all
I cant take it anymore
I’m done with all the lies
So I’m walking out that door

And now I’m done
Trying to make you proud
Seeking your approval
Or earning your love

You are done tearing me down
No longer killing me slowly
I’m rising from the ashes
And finding the real me
