Lyrics

VERSE1: A kid needs laughter and games
Someone to look up to, somewhere to aim
But around you I was always afraid
And most of the time I felt ashamed

You said I made you look bad
Always letting you down, I felt so sad
Love was a word you would never say
Then you'd remind me I was just a mistake.

CHORUS: You took the me right out of me.
I wasn't who you wanted me to be
I lived in a world of grief because
You said without you, I'd be lost
You took the me - right out of me.

SPOKEN: I heard your voice in my head yesterday
Though you and many years have passed away
But I've learned to have some faith in me
And I don't need your sad insecurities

VERSE 2 You said I's a bad reflection on you
With me never knowing the right things to do
You were the king of your castle, better than me
And I was just a slave at your feet.

REPEAT CHORUS AND SPOKEN

VERSE 3 Sometimes it was hard for me to take.
I needed love for just love's sake
My pleas were only your latest gripe
A few times I nearly took my own life

REPEAT CHORUS
