Can't you see
I am trying my best
To make you happy

Can't you see
I am killing myself
Oh! Its a tragedy

I came from you
I love you
But let me live for me

I am giving everything I have
To make not mine, but your, dreams come true
Everything I do, is all for you

But you are never satisfied
Its never enough for you

So I push myself higher
And farther apart, I am falling from you

I need your hand
I am scared I will fall
I miss you

But you don't see my pain
Just my failure

I try to stop my tears
I tell myself, its for them, that I doing this
Giving up my dreams, my happiness
To make them proud and happy

But its hard to say goodbye
To the only dream you ever had

I remember the nights
I would tell myself
Don't worry, big girl, you will make it there

But I would break the promise I made to myself
To be true to the promise I made to you

But somewhere along the way
I have lost the people to whom I promised

They are gone and the feelings of love, trust and faith
Are replaced by scrutiny, criticism and nags

I am holding on to my promise, and barely so
But what about your promise
To love me, to protect me and to never let go

I hold my hand out
Waiting for you take them and, the warmth
That made me feel safe to envelope me

But the warmth never came
In fact, I just felt a push
As I fell into the cold pit
And I fall
And I fall
And I fall

Oh! I fell so hard!
