would I lie to you if it   meant me going down too?   would I be losing you if I   pushed too far      my throat is raw   my eyes are sore   all this shouting and screaming going on   tugging and pulling on my youth   just trying to get the truth      is this the way it's always been   can't change your point of view   God is good and this is true      what have I left behind   oh loving parent   what do I hope to be one day   oh loving parent      would you take me as I am   if I couldn't get it right   would you still hear me out   if I spoke my mind   my heart is broken, my mind confused   all these expectations way too high      tugging and pulling at the truth   just trying to understand my youth   is this the way it's meant to be   can you change your point of view   God is good and this is true      what have I left behind   oh loving parent   what do I hope to be one day   oh loving parent      what have I now become   oh hated daughter   what have I now become   beloved son
