Maybe I was too young to fully understandThat's why I never healed from it healthy, why I never trusted a manYou gotta love the way you have, and I'll take that to my graveSoon you'll open up your eyes, and it'll all be gone one dayAnd I'm sitting here convincing you to pick up the phone and callI am my father's daughter, but I'm nothing like him at allI hear him in the way I speak, and when I look in the mirrorThe anger's grown in me and shows, could it be any clearer?That I'm like him 'cause he made me the way I amWhen we're fighting, and all I need is somebody

And I'm crying on my mama's floor, why don't you want this anymore?And I'm craving you to change for meYou're saying, "I hear you, and I love you, but my heart, it hurts for youAnd I just cannot give you what you need"Am I too much? Am I enough? 'Cause you said you wouldn't give upNow I'm numb on my knees, praying to God you talk to meWondering what it takes for you to stay off my mindAnd far out of my bloodstream

You never laid your hands on meAnd that's something I'm grateful forBut I should've known that you'd gone madWhen I saw the way you punched your doorsAnd I don't regret loving you 'cause I know that you needed itBut the way you treated me made me feel like a little kidAnd something deep inside of me tells me that you're not better nowAnd I'm sorry that I couldn't help, but I'm so glad I made it out
