Somebody's Daughter

(albüm: This Is What 21 Feels Like - 2021)

Drive fast on my way home with tears in my eyes
Haven't seen my mom in a long time
And I feel guilty
I know she missed me
Dad says I'm doing my best and we'll all be okay
But I don't know if he is these days
And I feel nauseous
Wish I could stop this

They say don't ever meet your heroes
What if you see them every day
And start to think that they're just people
Hiding their hurt under a cape
Gave me my heart, taught me how to love
Now I'm trying my best not to mess it up, mmm
Sometimes I wish I had a hero

Sometimes it's hard being somebody's daughter
There's always something keeping me up at night
If it ain't my mother, then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive
Sometimes it's hard turning wine into water
Try to grow up then my roots run dry
If it ain't my mother, then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive

It's strange how the roles change the older you get
First they keep you safe then you're the safety net
It's hard to see it
But now I see it

'Cause my dad, he taught me to be strong and
I feel it being strong for him
And now my mom changes the subject
When I ask how she's really been
Gave me my life, taught me how to live
But every time I try I start worrying, mmm
I know this isn't what they wanted

Sometimes it's hard being somebody's daughter
There's always something keeping me up at night
If it ain't my mother, then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive
Sometimes it's hard turning wine into water
Try to grow up then my roots run dry
If it ain't my mother, then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive

They watched me take my first steps
And run away from home
The least that I can do now
Is just pick up the phone
And I wonder when it all ends
Then deep down I know
The most that I can lose now
Is everything, everything, hmm

Sometimes it's hard being somebody's daughter
There's always something keeping me up at night
If it ain't my mother, then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive
Sometimes it's hard turning wine into water
Try to grow up then my roots run dry
If it ain't my mother, then it's my father
They're killing me but at least they're alive

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
