You promised you'd do better.

You told me that you loved me.

But that was all a lie.

On that very same day, you tried to run away.

Abandoning me

You tried to throw all your rights away.

When I said that I needed you that didn't mean I needed you to disappear. 

When I said I loved you, that didn't mean past tense.

You've never loved me the way I love you

I never thought a mother and daughter's relationship could be so one-sided.

I never thought I'd be the one to reach out if we got separated. 

You shouldn't have been so cruel.

Why do you blame me for all the wrongs that have happened in your life?

It's not always my fault.

So why do you always yell at me?

Even if I make mistakes. 

Even if I want to leave this prison you call home I don't wanna lose you.

I don't want you to abandon me

I still want you in my life.

Even if you don't want me in yours.

No matter how many times you break my heart mother I still love you.

Yes, I have a father who cares.

Yes I have another mother who's always there

Yes, I have the love of all my siblings, but the love I want most is yours.

Why does it have to be this way 

I just wish that for once you would say you're proud of me.

I hope our relationship won't always be this way.

I never thought you'd hang my siblings over my head

As if I have to win their love and please you just to see them.

I never thought you'd go so far as to abandon me. 

Was wanting a better life so much to ask. 

Is abandoning me the answer to all your problems?

If I was such a burden to you then why'd you keep me around?

All you do is yell at me.

I can see the disappointment on your face.

So why did you keep me around?

Money can't be the only reason.

Right?

So please don't let it be.

I wasn't made to be your trophy

I'm not a means of bribery 

I always tried so hard but I was never good enough for you.

Why wasn't I good enough for you?

Why wasn't I?

Did I not try hard enough.

Mother, please tell me.

Please tell me.

Mother, I need to know.

I need to know that I mean more than a child support check. 

Please
