Dear parents,
I know you’re proud of me
But sometimes I feel like a trophy
It’s who you expect me to be
Ohh dear parents,
I see my dream in your eyes
But sometimes I feel suffocated
By pressure and pride all at once
I don’t wanna taint
The painting in your head
Of your oldest daughter
All that time away
I struggled and became
Who I am today
I’m trying my hardest
To make you the proudest
But I’m not perfect
Perfect
At all
I’m trying my hardest
To keep you the happiest
But tell me who’s perfect
Perfect
No one
Dear parents,
You’re always there for me
But sometimes I feel like a burden
I’m stuck in this room and can’t breathe
Dear parents,
I’ve come to know your flaws
But sometimes it feels like your love
Is so wrapped up in all the applause
I don’t wanna taint
The painting in your head
Of your oldest daughter
And all that time away
I struggled and became
Who I am today
I’m trying my hardest
To make you the proudest
But I’m not perfect
Perfect
At all
I’m trying my hardest
To keep you the happiest
But tell me who’s perfect
Perfect
No one
And I’ll be strong like my mother
I’ll be kind like my father
Hope I don’t falter
I’ll be strong like my father
And I’ll be kind like my mother
Hope I don’t falter
I’m trying my hardest
To make you the proudest
But I’m not perfect
Perfect
At all
I’m trying my hardest
To keep you the happiest
But tell me who’s perfect
Perfect
No one
