Running around in circles
Always trying to please you
I just wanted you to see
My life had meaning and
I was doing something real
I tried explaining
But it fell upon deaf ears
So many years have passed, and you
You don't know who I am
I'm still caught up in that phase
Did I really throw my life away
How can you look me in the eye
And say you're proud
When you know it's all a lie
15 years
Do you know how they were spent
So far from wasted
But you just don't° get it
Face to face
Without a thing to say
What's the point when it won't ever change
Time and time again
I blame myself
Never good enough
I was never good enough for you
But now I know who I am
Even though you never cared
I'm better off just standing on my own
