I know you worked hard all your life

to give me everything I needed

but how much longer must I apologize

'cause you feel cheated and defeated

I never asked you to sacrifice

all your dreams and your entire life

I never questioned your ability

to be a provider for us, your family


So please don't throw your bitterness in my face

Don't make me carry this weight on my shoulders

All I needed was a little attention

and all I wanted from you was your affection

Please don't keep pushing me...away


I never criticized the decisions you made the way you criticized mine

Those words hurt more than you will ever know

but the wounds will heal in time

I never asked of you to sacrifice all your dreams and your entire life

I never questioned your ability to be a provider for us, your family
