I don’t want to let you down
But I don’t know if I can live up to your expectations
I don’t want to bring you down
But I can’t seem to shake this feeling of desperation
I don’t mean the things I say
But I don’t know how else to defend myself against your accusations
I don’t want to run away
But only because I don’t have a destination
I know sometimes I lack grace
I would cut off my own nose to spite my face
But I can’t back down and I can’t give in
I simply cannot let you win
So I’m sorry that I act this way
I’m sorry for the things I say
I know you’d love me if I changed
But could you love me if I stayed the same?
I don’t want to seem ungrateful
But I don’t know how I can show my appreciation
I don’t want to be distasteful
But sometimes it’s hard to resist temptation
I know that I’m not unflawed
But sometimes could you just use your imagination?
‘Cause I just want to be adored
And I think sometimes I deserve some admiration
I know sometimes I lack grace
I would cut off my own nose to spite my face
But I can’t back down and I can’t give in
I simply cannot let you win
So I’m sorry that I act this way
I’m sorry for the things I say
I know you’d love me if I changed
But could you love me if I stayed the same?
I’m sorry I don’t impress you
I’m sorry I distress you
I’m sorry I’m so proud
I’m sorry I stand my ground
I’m sorry I’m not good enough for you
I’m sorry if I’m too tough for you
But remember, I’m still young
I’ve still got time to grow up
I know sometimes I lack grace
I would cut off my own nose to spite my face
But I can’t back down and I can’t give in
I simply cannot let you win
So I’m sorry that I act this way
I’m sorry for the things I say
I know you’d love me if I changed
But could you love me if I stayed the same?
Remember, I’m still young
I’ve still got time to grow up

possible: I don't mean the hurtful things I say
I know its implied, but its kind of like saying the green cat is green (redundant) but in this case the redundancy sounds good and we get the point, you lash out.
Your a really good writer.
Keep practicing.
that would be pretty awesome
Amazing. I love your writings! I can just imagine this being sung right now.....and someone playing a guitar in the background, ahh what a lovely thought! Ever thought of selling your lyrics to singers? Would make good money AND famous people sing your songs o.O
