Mr.Curtis
I am tired of living up to peoples expectations.
Do I have the qualifications to be your daughter?
Why even bother to try?
Why can't people have some patience
or even a little more confidence in me,
cuz you'll see later on...I will be gone,
Making my life better than yours,
making myself the best that I can be.
Can't you see that I do want your advice,
but you can't make the choice on my decisions.
I feel like you are trying to make
an incision into my soul
and change all my goals.
I'm tired of this life of mine.
I need to change this life of mine into bliss,
cuz I want freedom.
I need to take a couple steps back
and see what kind of track I am walking.
I hear you talking
'bout how I'm not such a great person
as people think.
You need to look in the mirror,
cuz you don't have such a perfect career either.
Neither you nor I are perfect ones in this world.
Gee, Mr.Curtis, if you really think about it,
your whole life's a lie.
-sigh- huh.
