Wanting to be me

Well my parents wished I would be

The person they thought of in there dreams

But I let them down 

I went against the grain

I caused them aches

Oh I caused them pain

I was just trying to live my life

For I saw what was on the other side

Wanted to wring out all I had

Carried all I owned in a paper bag

Yes I lived

Yes I lived

Carrying this heart in my chest

It was heavy but i knew it best

So I let it beat

For the person I have always been

From the beginning  

To the bitter end

I am free

Yet I still fail to hold a grudge

What is this life without love

Forgiveness is the only way

To be ashamed but simply say

I am sorry
