Maybe if I were a boy I wouldn't be so disappointing to you
Or if I were a better christian you would spend less time wishin'
You could undo me
Or maybe if I told mom to stay
Maybe then it would all be okay
But I don't think so
I don't think so

And if you'd been a healthy baby
Maybe then you could relate to how I feel
And if it weren't for all the chemo and the pills
You'd know the difference between right and real
Maybe Jesus stands beside you
In your efforts to deny the ones you loved
But I don't think so
I don't think so, no
I don't think so
I don't think so, no
I don't think so

So I'm swallowing my pride because if I call you one more time
You might pick up
And no matter what makes sense a daughter always makes amends
To earn her father's love
And someday before you die you see just how much I take after you
But I don't think so
