Parents

I'm not that close to my parents

They're unaware if I'm doing alright

I joke about life as a child

I force a smile, when someone asks why

But now I'm older, can't seem to cry

And I can't call them when I wanna die

Scared to have kids, who have my dad's eyes

'Cause they'd look at me like he did all my life

You can't choose your parents

But I'm better off without mine

Some days are harder than others

Thank God for my mother, on that day in June

Cautious of history repeating

'Cause sometimes I see him in things that I do

I hate that I wonder what I'd be like

If he'd let me live, 'cause I barely survived

Scared to have kids, who have my dad's eyes

'Cause they'd look at me, like he did all my life

You can't choose your parents

But I'm better off without mine

Mine, mine, without mine (who would I be? Who would I be?)

What would I be like (who would I be? Who would I be?)

Without mine? (Who would I be? Who would I be?)

Wondered my whole life (who would I be? Who would I be?)

Without mine? (Who would I be? Who would I be?)

What would I be like (who would I be? Who would I be?)

Without mine? (Who would I be? Who would I be?)

And I keep asking why (who would I be? Who would I be?)

You can't choose your parents

But I'm better off without mine

(But I'm better off without mine)
