I always thought that we were good
I always admired my mom's strength
She had to be strong to deal with you
She stood tall for you through the length
Time after time you let her down
But she didn't break or move away
She stood strong and held her ground
But this song is what I have to say
This isn't about her anymore
It's about me and my eight you see
We never had to question her love
It was given so freely
But you dad we have trauma from
I can only speak for me
You broke my heart pops you did
Like never before in history
I'm your number one you said
That's what you used to call my name
But you put me out at sixteen
And nothing has been the same
My teen years weren't the best at all
Do you remember what you did
I had nowhere left to go
A lost and lonely kid
Searching for the love I missed
The love I didn't get from you
I found it in my husband's heart
But see my dream was always true
All I ever wanted was
The steady love of my own dad
But you gave inconsistencies
And all the love we had went bad
But you dad we have trauma from
I can only speak for me
You broke my heart pops you did
Like never before in history
I'm your number one you said
That's what you used to call my name
But you put me out at sixteen
And nothing has been the same
I'm not mad at you today
Just like you chose you I choose me
I must protect my peace now
And set my wounded spirit free
I pray one day we find our way
Back to laughter and to love
But until that distant day comes
It's my peace I'm thinking of
But you dad we have trauma from
I can only speak for me
You broke my heart pops you did
Like never before in history
I'm your number one you said
That's what you used to call my name
But you put me out at sixteen
And nothing has been the same
Yes you dad we have trauma from
I can only speak for me
You broke my heart pops you did
Like never before in history
I'm your number one you said
That's what you used to call my name
But you put me out at sixteen
And nothing has been the same
