I'M Not Good Enough

I've tried to be the person You think I should be. But we both know, I'll never be good enough. I wish, For just once, To make you proud. I cant change the past, I cant make things right. I wonder if you know, How I hate myself. I'm not perfect. And I'm sorry that what I do, Isn't good enough for you. Every time you turn away, I feel like I've failed you. I know I'm not the mom you want, But I cant change who I am. I'm never going to be the mom you love, It just isn't going to happen. I'm never going to be good enough, No matter how hard I try ... Or how hard I cry.
