hurt
crushed
torn

thats what i feel
you think im better
but im not

how can i
when things are the way they are
pretending nothings wrong
untill i do something to set you off

im not perfect but neither are you
take a look around
can u see what youve done

im still human
dont treat me this way
i have feelings too

look at us now
im not perfect but neither are you
take a look around

see how youve made us
so start acting like a mother

before you ruin his life
a little boy
who has no choice
no say

im not going to be the mother anymore
take your job back
I QUIT
no longer taking on that roll

wait I quit everything
I GIVE UP
